What’s Behind A Temper Tantrum? Scientists Deconstruct The Screams
Toddlers outfitted with high-tech wireless recording devices have helped researchers discover that tantrums have a very distinct, predictable pattern. Understanding that tantrums have a rhythm can not only help parents know when to intervene, but also give them a sense of control.
The best quote of the piece (which admittedly was said partially in jest) comes from study co-author Michael Potegal of the University of Minnesota:
“We have the most quantitative theory of tantrums that has ever been developed in the history of humankind.”
SCIENCE!
