Tantrums may happen when kids are tied, hungry, or uncomfortable; or because they cant get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. _2_.Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when language skills are starting to develop. Because young children at this age cant yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. _3_. _4_ more than they may be able to handle. This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks “I can do it myself” or “I want it, give it to me”. When kids discover that they cant do it and cant have everything they want, they may have a tantrum.So try to prevent tantrums from happening in the first place, whenever possible.

Some parents think that they can be kept informed of what their children have been thinking through micro blogs, thus improving the relationship between them and children. However, some others are afraid that focusing on blogs too much will affect childrens studies.Educators hold the belief that the micro blog broadens students horizons, but meanwhile appropriate guidance is necessary. 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
