Is it normal for a 3.5 year old to repeat what he wants 1000 times even when you’ve said yes?

If it’s not appropriate how do I stop it? It’s really annoying.

Tantrum

Ladies. I'm struggling. My kid is the kid you can hear screaming in every corner of the store. His scream could wake the dead and break glass. The tantrums just started since he started daycare and they're intense . How are you reacting to the tantrums?
