1. My child seems to have temper tantrums quite regularly. Should I be concerned?
   
   
2. My child’s temper tantrums are becoming increasingly violent. How can I put a stop to such behavior?
   
   
3. How can I best handle my child’s temper tantrums?
   
   
4. Is there a way to prevent my child from having temper tantrums?
   
   
5. At what age will my child outgrow temper tantrums?
   
   
6. How long does a typical temper tantrum last?
   
   
7. Is it okay to reward my child after he/she settles down from a tantrum?
   
   
8. What should I do if my child has a tantrum in a public place, such as the grocery store?
   
   
9. Isn’t it easier to simply give my child what he/she wants rather than have to suffer through a tantrum?
   
   
10. How long should a “time-out” last?
