Tantrums

Unrelated to the video above, Dr. Claire McCarthy of Harvard Medical School has written A Guide to Tantrums on MSN.com. The information is divided in sections as "Why Tantrums Happen," "Why Some Children Are More Prone to Tantrums," and "How to Prevent or Diffuse Tantrums." Certainly, the information is practical. However, I think it comes down to children are being children although it is a power play for children. I disagree that parents and caregivers should allow the situation to play out to the discomfort of other people.

What I don't understand and refuse to accept is adults who have tantrums.
