Saw a post that said children are either tantrum children, or are not. Is this true?

They are a part of development for every kid! But not every kid will stay stuck in a tantrum phase. Some kids move past it much quicker

I have a 2 year old and she does tantrum but they last maybe 30 seconds to a minute. Not long. She's a great kid over all but they come when she is tired, hungry or we don't understand her. Other kids I know have full blown 30 minute tantrums. Definitely believe it is just part of their development.

My 11 month old has tantrums loads, multiple times a day. She’s always been a grumpy baby. I’ve found that my step daughter also still has tantrums at 7 (I know, please don’t lecture me) and she was a really tantrumy child. The other step kids not so much. They were more destructive.

Some kids have more than others but I think every kid has them?

My younger son never had a tantrum that I can recall. BUT he’s also got ASD. He didn’t do a lot of “normal” things his older brother did. Always had been withdrawn and calm unless you push him and then he may do something sort of explosive but immediately turns back into his ice cold demeanor. He hated crowds, noise, basically anything overstimulating.

So they are common and expected. My son rarely has them but he still has had some in recent. He’s approaching 2 and I’m expecting the change

Early talkers tend to have less tantrums because they have ability to get their emotion/ thoughts across. Many tantrums are just kids that want something or feel a certain way and don't feel like they'll being understood. I learned this from a speech pathologist at the school i teach at. I don't believe you can predict that when I child is born, so I'd say "not true"

My daughter definitely does have tantrums and we had a lot when she first turnt 3 but now she’s almost 4 she doesn’t have them very often. Not screaming crying tantrums. We now get pure sass and she will tell us to stop talking to her and storm upstairs to her bedroom and say “give me space!” But I find that easier to deal with than the throwing herself on the floor screaming 😂

@Angie correct- my daughter started talking before 1 and skipped the whole tantrum phases until 5 when her ability to start understanding more complex emotions like jealousy or embarrassment so they would just come out in anger or snarky remarks .. I thought I failed her and honestly still feel like I am sometimes but I’m reminded that it’s a sign that she’s moving into a more executive way of thinking. Most adults can’t even move to executive state with emotions as quickly as she can ( and that includes me too) we are evolving together
