Toddlers Often Explode When Angry, Could be Because They Imitate Parents

Dream - Facing the emotions of children who are still under five years old (toddlers) can sometimes confuse parents. They can cry for hours, have tantrums, and are difficult to calm down.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Unexpected things often trigger the anger of the little one. Patience is needed and continuously recognizing the child's character and dealing with it when he/she is angry."

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "What is also very important is to always remember that anger is one of the natural and normal forms of emotion that can be felt by humans of various age ranges, including young children. Young children often show their anger in the form of crying and tantrums or sudden explosive emotions."

According to Putri Bayu Gusti Megantari Pratiwi, an educator at Rumah Main Cikal Lebak Bulus, anger or sudden frustration expressed by young children needs to be fully understood and comprehended. "In early childhood, self-control functions in children are still in the process of developing optimally," said Putri in a press release received by Dream.

There are many things that make toddlers angry and explode. What are they?

1. The Process of Learning to Recognize Emotions and Self-Control

Anger is a basic emotion, so feeling angry is normal for a child. We need to understand that anger is a feeling that arises when something is blocking us from getting what we want.

"Thus, children will show their anger if their desires are not fulfilled. However, unlike adults, children do not yet have the ability to manage their emotions well, so they express them suddenly with anger," said Putri. She also added that neurologically, the executive functions of the brain in early childhood responsible for self-control are not yet fully developed."

2. Limited Early Childhood Communication Skills

The translated text while preserving the HTML tags would be: "Anger that is shown explosively becomes a way to express oneself because of the limited communication abilities of young children. Their speech is still unclear, and they are not yet able to express their desires well."

"Crying, screaming, rolling around, or throwing things is their way of saying 'I'm angry!'. The still suboptimal abilities of young children in this regard affect how they respond to frustrating things," said Putri.

3. Innate Temperament

The third condition that makes young children easily explode in anger is their innate temperament.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Temperament innate at birth, according to Putri, is a congenital condition that can be influenced by the family and/or cultural environment."

4. Viewing Parents/ Close People

Early childhood is a skilled imitator and a true observer who easily follows the behaviors performed by their closest people, for example, the family environment. Putri mentioned that imitating the behavior of their closest person when angry can be one form of copy-paste moment applied by children.

"For that, please try, Father and Mother, to learn to control emotions better, especially when angry in front of the children. They will easily absorb and imitate what they see every day."
