🔥 Tantrums: Understanding the Storm Behind the Behavior

Tantrums are a normal — and universal — part of early childhood development, though most parents wish they could skip this phase entirely. In this parenting class, we take a closer look at why tantrums happen, what powerful underlying emotions are at play, and how you can support your child through them in ways that foster emotional growth. Behind every meltdown is often a feeling of helpless rage, born from frustration and a deep sense of smallness in a big, overwhelming world. We’ll offer you a quick, practical guide to handling tantrums in public with confidence and calm, and how to have meaningful “after-tantrum conversations” that help your child understand their feelings and build self-regulation over time. With the right tools, tantrums become less of a battlefield — and more of an opportunity for connection and growth.
