What is a tantrum?

A tantrum is a sudden, intense outburst of anger or frustration, typically displayed by children or individuals who are unable to control their emotions. Tantrums can involve crying, screaming, kicking, and other disruptive behaviors. They are often triggered by feelings of being overwhelmed, not getting what one wants, or feeling misunderstood. Tantrums are a common behavior in young children but can also occur in individuals of any age.
