Did you throw tantrums as a child?

Nope, I was a quiet boring kid.

Whoever says no, I think is crazy. Every child throws a tantrum at some point in their life. They might just not remember it.
I know I did when I was really little, but as I got older I stopped because my mom threatened me with a good whooping if I was about to have one

I threw blocks, cars, food, cups, etc. Don't remember throwing a "tantrum"...are they heavy??

I was totally afraid of what either of my parents might do if I did. Neither one had any tolerance for that kind of crap, so it was best not to test them.

I was an extremely good child. My mom told me while other kids ran around and had tantrums, I just sat there and watched them. I never had one

The only time I even got close to a tantrum was when my mother would take me shopping for shoes because my feet have very high arches and very high insteps - and very few shoes fit me properly, and they hurt. I hated it so much.

My younger daughter threw terrible tantrums and we discovered that she is autistic - and visual, auditory, and olfactory issues would overwhelm her. I was a very, very good mother (still am) and loathed the unwanted "advice" I would get from passersby, when they had no clue. My daughter was not "bad." She was afraid. We would be in the mall (on a mid-week day so as to avoid as many people as possible) and she would let loose. I'd have to sit down on the floor/ground wherever we were and hold her firmly so that she wouldn't harm herself - or anyone else. There were times when her head would come flying back into my face, giving me a bloody nose and black eyes. I never spanked her or hit her... Ever. I even had teeth knocked loose. I'd break out in a sweat from having to sit there so long, just holding on - and waiting for the feeling of her body relaxing and that sigh of release.

She no longer does that. She has come a long way and most people who meet her have no idea that she is autistic, at first. LOL!

So, when you see a child throwing a tantrum, don't make assumptions. They may be autistic or they may just be an overwhelmed child. Children are not little adults, folks. Adults need to understand that...

And I continue.... Beware.

Hell yeah! I was awful.

Everyone did...i didnt really talk to people until i was six because im a twin & we used to just be together as kids alot.....

Hell no! And neither did any of my siblings, either!I was brought up in hard times by a tough, uncompromising Dad and a no -nonsense Mother. I learnt from them from a very early age that life was hard and there was no place in the world we then lived in for such nonsense. I never thought anything of it at the time but looking back all those years now I am glad that they taught me that simple lesson in life as I believe it helped me greatly in the years that followed...

I was a quiet child, that would be my sister that throws the tantrums...and still does. lol

I don't think I ever did that. Everyone says that I was very quiet and took me a long time to learn to talk ...

:)

no

I certainly did not, not with the mother i had, i`d have got a good hiding.
My 2 young grand daughters will throw a tantrum + it`s awful, if they were my daughters they`d be put to bed + know this type of behaviour is unacceptable.

as far as i can still remember, i did! xD

oh yeah did i what those were the days

No way..my mom would have given me the face

Once or twice. But I only got away with it if it was from a sense of fear! I am told one of my most epic was my 1st haircut?

Are You Kidding!? My dad would have cleaned the floor with me and my mom was the master of "the look", basically telling me what would happen if I continued to act like that.

Many adults who knew me when I was younger claim that I was unusually well behaved for a young child.

I knew better or I'd get my nock blocked

No, but my parents told me that I whined a lot.

I'm sure I did lol...and at my age now I still do lol

Not that i remember or ever heard about. I'll bet there were a few though.especially in the terrible twos!

hardly....atleast i dont remember

I still do.

Probably, until I figured out that not only wouldn't it get me what I wanted, but it would get me in a whole world of trouble. I don't recall throwing tantrums, but I know my parents would not have put up with them at all, so I'm sure I lost the urge to throw them at a very early age.

Mhmm.... I remember those....

All the time at home just not in public
