Week 2

Preschoolers throw tantrums when they don't get what they want, when something isn't done their way, when they're angry, or when they aren't able to do certain things independently yet. If you give into a child's demands when they are having a tantrum just because "it's easier", it teaches the child that the bad behavior they are displaying is an OK way to act to get what they want, when it is not. They will think that they will get what they desire, when they act good and badly (when they throw tantrums and the parent gives in), when they should only be given what they desire when they show good behavior.
