Too Many Choices Leads to Tantrums
Too Many Choices Leads to Tantrums. When a tantrum arises, there can be many causes for it. One common cause that is wise to routinely consider is that of the “choice addiction.” Do you allow your child to make too many decisions? Does she have too much control for her age?
