Online Temper Tantrum Assessment
Wondering if your kid's tantrums are typical? We can help.
Almost every young child has temper tantrums. Tantrums are caused by big feelings—anger, frustration, fear, and sadness—that bubble over into big outbursts.
Tantrums are also one of the ways we can tell if a little kid has an underlying mental health challenge.
Our free 3-question survey, designed for kids 2-6 years old, will help identify whether you should be concerned about your child’s tantrums.
