Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For most toddlers, tantrums are a way to express frustration. For older children, tantrums might be a learned behavior. If you reward tantrums with something your child wants-or you allow your child to get out of things by throwing a tantrum-the tantrums are likely to continue.

Detailed explanation-2: -If a tantrum is happening to get attention from parents, one of the best ways to reduce this behavior is to ignore it. If a tantrum happens after your child is refused something, stay calm and don’t give a lot of explanations for why your child can’t have what they want. Move on to another activity with your child.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temper tantrums are a way a young child lets out strong emotions before he or she is able to express them in socially acceptable ways. Although a child may seem totally out of control, these fits of rage, stomping, screaming, and throwing himself or herself to the floor are a normal part of childhood development.
