Abstract in brief

The study involved 800 children aged 3 to 12 years and found that temper tantrums were most common at age 3.5, with prevalence decreasing as age increased.
Boys were more likely to exhibit tantrums and tended to come from upper social classes, while girls with tantrums were often from lower social classes; parental stress factors like trauma, seizure disorders, and family discord influenced tantrum behavior.
Children with tantrums also showed higher rates of associated behavioral problems such as thumb sucking, enuresis, tics, head banging, sleep disturbances, and hyperkinesis.
