Question
The child often gets angry for no reason, throws whatever they get; even lying on the ground and crying uncontrollably; the more you comfort them, the angrier they become. Past treatment history and results: None. Assistance desired: What causes the child’s outbursts of anger; what should we parents do?
Answer
It’s possible that the child’s situation may be related to a deficiency in calcium and zinc, so it’s recommended to test for mineral levels. If the child is deficient in zinc or calcium, they may need to take supplements or eat more foods rich in minerals. The child’s persistent crying and temper tantrums may also be due to unmet emotional needs, such as not getting what they want. However, parents should not simply indulge the child; they should demonstrate how to behave after the child cries.
