Wanna hear something a little bit mindblowing? Everybody temper tantrums the same way. We’re not just talking about Americans here — or even simply Western countries. People from around the world, from different countries and cultures (hunter-gatherers included) freak out the same way American children do. And it’s not just people, either — the behavior is consistent in monkeys and apes, too. We all have the same vocalizations, the same body motions. Everything about how we tantrum is the same. That’s kinda crazy, right? And the good news is that there’s also a clear way to react to and handle tantrums as well.
