Fox on Family. Nobody wants their kid throwing a grocery store tantrum. But that's not unusual for a two-year-old: "They don't have sufficient language to say, mommy I need x, y and z. And the other thing they don't have is the ability to wait for whatever it is that they want; those are developmental things."
Psychologist Dr. Kathy Seifert says beyond first grade, throwing a tantrum or hitting may be a red flag to get help, which parents tend to do if a child isn't walking or talking by a certain age: "In order to help move their developmental process along, and so their social abilities are no different. What should they be doing at a particular age and can they do it or do they need help?"
She urges parents to act; help now could prevent more problems later. Another red flag is frequent aggressive behavior, every week not once in a while.
How a child most often behaves around others will show if they're learning boundaries and maturing properly.
