They are not simply an act in order to seek attention. When a child is having a temper tantrum, they typically cry, scream, and may even throw themselves on the floor kicking and yelling. They generally last anywhere from 1 - 3 minutes and can appear quite intense at the start. Dealing with toddler tantrums can be quite frustrating as a parent, but there are ways to deal with it. Occasionally, some temper tantrums can be more severe and therefore last longer. The child may resort to pinching, biting, and hitting.
