Assessment of Temper Tantrum Behaviour in Preschool Children: A Descriptive Survey Approach

Objective: The purpose of the study is to assess parents’ experiences and associate demographic characteristics of parents and children with temper tantrum behavior characteristics of preschool children. Methods: A descriptive survey approach was used to conduct this study. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was adopted to recruit 121 parents of children aged between 3-6 years visiting a selected tertiary care hospital in India. All parents completed the parents’ experience of temper tan- trums in the children’s questionnaire. The analysis of results was carried out on IBM SPSS Software version 23.0. Results: A moderate level of temper tantrums showed on the mother’s age, education, occupation, marital status, program attendance, and medical and mental illness in the family, whereas a family’s monthly income above 50,000 indicated a severe level of temper tantrums, and half of the children ex- perienced tantrum behavior to get the attention of their parents, hungry and tired. The most frequently reported tantrum behavior was throwing things and hitting parents and siblings, and most tantrums occurred in public places and in vehicles. The majority of the parents adopted strategies to distract their child’s attention by helping the child talk about the causes of anger. A significant association was found between temper tantrum behavior and demographic characteristics of the marital status of parents (x2 = 15.340, p = 0.002) and the awareness program attended regarding temper tantrums in children (x2 = 4.491, p = 0.034). Conclusion: As temper tantrums peak in the toddler age group, the present study found that parental involvement is a necessity to manage temper tantrums in preschoolers as well.

Psychoeducation For Parents and Shadow Teachers: Managing Tantrum Behavior in Children With Special Needs

Tantrum behavior in children with special needs represents challenging behavior with deliberate intent and purpose. This tantrum behavior manifests within the school environment and frequently emerges at home. This behavior often leaves parents overwhelmed by ineffective management. Tantrum behavior impacts the child’s learning experience within the school setting. Limited understanding of tantrum behavior management among parents and shadow teachers can lead to either neglect or inadvertent reinforcement of such tantrum behaviors. Given the pivotal roles of parents as primary educators at home and shadow teachers as companions within the school, both play as agents of change in molding the child’s adaptive capabilities. This research aims to support parents and teachers in enhancing their comprehension of managing tantrum behaviors in children with special needs through psychoeducational interventions. The research participants comprise a community of parents and shadow teachers associated with children with special needs at an inclusive school in Malang City. This study presents an experimental approach using a one-group pretest and posttest design. The intervention outcomes reveal a highly significant distinction between the scores of tantrum behavior management knowledge before and after undergoing psychoeducational intervention (Z = –4.160; P = 0.000). Knowledge regarding tantrum behavior management after participating in psychoeducational interventions falls within the “high” category (68.2%). According to research participants, the perceived usefulness of psychoeducational interventions is gauged as somewhat beneficial (45.5%) and highly beneficial (54%). The subjects’ perception of the feasibility of implementing psychoeducational interventions varies, with a high level of confidence (36.4%), a moderate level of confidence (50%), and a sense of uncertainty or doubt (13.6%).

Evaluating Behavior Modification for Tantrums in Early Childhood: Approaches for Enhanced Management and Intervention

Negative behaviors in children, such as tantrums, are common during early childhood due to inherent egocentric tendencies. Tantrums, if not addressed by parents, can potentially harm the child. Therefore, parents need to employ early-stage behavioral modification techniques to manage tantrums in children, with continuous evaluation. This study focuses on evaluating the modification of tantrum behavior in early childhood, involving a series of procedures to transform negative behaviors into positive ones. The evaluation, as the final stage of the behavior modification process, assesses whether the treated behavior has undergone significant changes by observing and recording its persistence. The research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing structured interviews for data collection from parents as informants. Data analysis follows the Milles and Huberman model. Purposively selected subjects, children aged 2-6 years, are obtained through interviews and in-depth observations. Results indicate that effective reinforcing actions involve allowing children to express emotions under parental supervision, preventing harm while calming the child through comforting gestures. The final evaluation reveals that children exhibit increased freedom in expressing emotions, yet still under parental supervision.

Connection Between Tantrums and Voiding Dysfunction in Children: A Case-Control Study

Background: Voiding dysfunction in children involves various urinary symptoms and is often distressing. Tantrums, emotional outbursts typically seen in early childhood, may have an underlying relationship with urinary disorders. Existing research lacks evidence linking these two conditions. Therefore, we conducted the present study. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the potential link between tantrums and voiding dysfunction in children over 4 years old and to analyze the effects of individual tantrum symptoms on voiding dysfunction. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 96 children visiting Amir Kabir Hospital in Arak, Iran. The case group (n = 48) consisted of children with voiding dysfunction, and the control group (n = 48) included healthy children. The existence of tantrums was determined using the Parents' Experience of Temper Tantrums in Children questionnaire. Results: Tantrums were significantly more common in the case group than in the control group (P = 0.004). Only the presence of screaming (P = 0.016) and throwing things (P = 0.022) showed significant associations with voiding dysfunction. Conclusions: This study revealed a significant connection between voiding dysfunction and tantrums in children. Specific tantrum symptoms, such as screaming and throwing things, were found to be associated with voiding dysfunction. The findings emphasize a need for an integrated approach in pediatric care to address both urinary and behavioral aspects.

Temper Tantrums and Homoeopathy

Young children use tantrums as a means to control their emotions, express themselves, and attempt to comprehend or alter their environment. This is due to the fact that at this age, children's social and emotional skills are just beginning to develop. Children frequently lack the words to adequately communicate strong feelings. Therefore, it is up to parents to handle tantrums without damaging their kids' self-esteem. By homoeopathy we can successfully treat and lessen the severity of tantrums.

Preliminary Evaluation of the Impact of Service Modality on Treatment Outcome and Acceptability Using a Function-Based Behavioral Caregiver Training Program

Few studies have investigated caregiver choice surrounding the modality for behavior therapy for pediatric challenging behavior. This preliminary study sought to (1) understand the factors impacting consumer decisions regarding virtual or in-person behavior therapy and (2) evaluate the associated clinical outcomes using a quasi-experimental design. Forty nine participants received behavioral services for the assessment and treatment of tantrum behaviors. Paired sample t-tests and a one-way ANOVA were conducted to evaluate outcomes. Results suggest choices were most frequently based on caregiver perceptions regarding speed of improvement; modality changes were most associated with failure to make progress. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Case Study of Tantrum Behavior in Early Childhood

Emotional development in childhood is a determinant of the attitude and behaviour of children in the future. Not optimally developing children's emotional abilities will cause negative emotions in the form of tantrums. This study aims to describe the tantrum behaviour of children. The purpose of this study was to investigate what causes children to throw tantrums and what parents and educators may do to reduce the occurrence of these outbursts. This research employed a descriptive analysis of a case, or a case study, of two group B children, aged five and six, with tantrum behaviour issues in one of the kindergartens in Bukittinggi City. Two youngsters, RKW and ZP, were studied for their tantrum behaviours. Researchers identified three types of tantrums: manipulative, vocal irritation, and temperamental. When it comes to a child's personal growth, parents and educators play crucial roles. However, parents and instructors can handle toddlers prone to tantrums in one of two ways: either keep a close check on them or ignore them entirely. Once the child has calmed down, they are given simple, straightforward guidance. Hugs are the final piece of advice that parents and teachers may give.

Pengaruh Parent Management Training terhadap Pengetahuan Ibu dalam Menghadapi Perilaku Tantrum pada Anak Usia Prasekolah

Tantrums are excessive emotional outbursts by a person when his desires are not fulfilled, especially in preschool children. This can happen because of the immediate environment and the parenting style. This study aims to figure out the effect of Parent Management Training (PMT) on increasing maternal knowledge of dealing with tantrums in preschool children. This study was conducted on parents aged 25–40 who had children aged 3-5 years. This is experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The training instruments used were the PMT module and worksheet. Meanwhile, the data were collected using tests, observations, interviews, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) which refers to the tantrum behavior scale. The data was then analyzed using two related sample tests with Wilcoxon tests assisted by SPSS 22 software. The results showed that the value of Z was -2.803 with a significant test value (p) (Asymp. Sig. 2 tailed) of 0.00, which was less than 0.05 (p<0.05). Accordingly, the research hypothesis is accepted. Thus, PMT has a significant influence on reducing tantrum behavior in preschool children.

Perilaku Tantrum Pada Anak Usia Dini di TK ABA Sumbawa

This study aims to describe the factors that cause tantrum behavior in early childhood in TK ABA Sumbawa and the efforts that teachers apply when dealing with early childhood tantrums in TK ABA Sumbawa. Tantrums happen to all children in their developmental period. Unfortunately, parents sometimes often don't realize that their child is in that period, so they use the wrong strategy, causing an impact on the child's social development to the next stage. Generally, tantrum behavior is a normal behavior that occurs in early childhood because it is a phase of the child's physical, cognitive, and emotional development. On the other hand, tantrum behavior can also be a problem in itself when it appears with a frequency, intensity, and in a relatively long time that usually occurs in children of their age. Therefore efforts in handling child tantrums have been carried out and pursued well, for example by advising children by placing the child on his lap when the child is behaving in a tantrum, teaching children to be responsible, praising and giving gifts when the child behaves well, also calm in dealing with children who are expressing tantrums, then gentle touches with strong hugs and talking calmly to children who are behaving in tantrums and providing fun activities for children who are behaving in tantrums have also been given by the school.

Challenging Behavior in Down Syndrome: Initial Surveys Evaluating Co-occurrence

Down syndrome (DS) is a developmental disability caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and as with other developmental disabilities, individuals with DS may present with challenging behavior (e.g., aggression, tantrums, self-injurious behavior; Feeley & Jones, 2006). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of challenging behavior in those with DS by surveying caregivers of individuals with DS via Qualtrics. A link to our survey was sent out to national and local organizations that support the DS population with a request to disseminate the link. Given limited response, the survey was modified (shorted and reorganized) and a link to the revised survey was disseminated via Facebook to groups focused on DS. Although both surveys received limited responses, there are preliminary findings worth exploring further. Aggression, noncompliance, and tantrum behaviors were frequently reported behavior and, escape and attention were the most reported perceived functions of behavior. Challenging behavior is reported in DS by caregivers. Future research should be conducted to examine the prevalence and function of challenging behavior in DS to develop effective preventative approaches to challenging behavior while promoting skill acquisition.

Implementasi Metode Time Out Dalam Mengatasi Temper Tantrum pada Anak Usia Dini Kelompok B di RA Salafiyah Desa Cibenda Parigi Pangandaran

Temper tantrums are destructive behavior, in the form of outbursts which can be physical in nature such as hitting, pushing, slamming an object or in a verbal form, such as screaming, crying, screaming or whining. One method that can be used to deal with temper tantrums is the methodtime out. Methodtime out defined as withdrawing opportunities to gain positive reinforcement or loss of positive reinforcement for a given time, in order to reduce the probability of future behavior. The purpose of this study is regarding the role of educators in implementing the handling of children with temper tantrums through the temper tantrum method. This research method is descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through observation, documentation, interviews and document analysis. Data is analyzed using data reduction, displaying data and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the process of handling children who experience tantrums uses a momentary allowance technique (Time Out) can make children calmer, emotions more controllable and able to accept stimulus handling given by other people to children.

Parental Discipline Techniques and Changes in Observed Temper Tantrum Severity in Toddlers.

Although temper tantrums are considered a normal part of emotional development in toddlerhood, for some they foreshadow more serious behavioral and emotional problems. Parental discipline techniques may play a role in explaining why this behavior worsens for some children whereas for others it fades away. With this three-wave longitudinal study, we examined bidirectional associations between specific discipline techniques - ignoring, power assertion, and consistency - and intra-individual changes in the severity of tantrum behavior. We observed tantrum behavior in a standardized clean-up task, overcoming the limitation of most earlier work that relied on parent-report for associated changes in parenting and child behavior over time. For 94 children (53 boys; Mage = 30 months, range 20-43 months), mothers filled out the Parenting Dimensions Inventory, and temper tantrum severity (i.e., duration and aggressiveness) was coded three times across one year. Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models suggested parent-effects rather than child-effects: more maternal power assertion and less consistency predicted increases in tantrum severity over time (ignoring did not), but temper tantrum severity did not predict changes in parenting over time. Results indicate that reducing power assertion and increasing consistency may be especially helpful in reducing temper tantrums in children. Findings add to previous findings indicating that mothers' parenting may be driven less by objective child behavior than by her own perceptions of her child's behavior.
