Let's talk about meltdowns and temper tantrums. Arms flailing, feet stomping, the full body drop-to-the-ground moment. For toddlers, the image is all too familiar. For those of us who have older children, we take a sigh. But are tantrums just for toddlers? No, they aren't. The tantrum meltdown isn't just for kids. It's also an experience many teens, young adults, and adults experience on the regular. They just look a little different now. Let me explain.
We had only been there for a little over an hour. Alicia was extremely upset and said it wasn't fair that she had to be punished as well because her sister was acting up. When I suggested to Jane that Alicia had a point and that she take Annie home and come back for Alicia and me, she responded that she was taking both girls, and I was welcome to order an Uber to get home if I wanted to stay.
