Temper tantrum is a common behavior disorder seen in younger children of age group 18-36 months, which can be stressing for the caregivers but at the same time, it demands parental attention and care. Caregiver should be competent enough to understand the needs, emotions, behavior of the developing young child and to provide optimal care for children. The main aim of the review was to discuss temper tantrum behavior, its etiology, symptoms, management, and prevention. In addition, to discuss the role of caregivers and families to provide optimal care for children for management of these events. Articles were sorted from following databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PUBMED, Rout ledge, Elsevier BV, SLACK. Inc., other Social science abstracts, EMBASE, Google Scholar and Research Gate. Textbook references were also identified using tds health Teton data systems. However, temper tantrum are considered as normal behavior only but for parents it becomes a tiring job to handle the altered behavior of the young child as he grows physically, emotionally and mentally. The role of primary care giver is very vital in preventing altered behavior. Understanding the needs and desires of the young child at the earliest can settle the deregulated behavior. Handling needs with care keeping in mind safety can improve parent and child relationship.
