A child can throw a tantrum anywhere for the most insignificant reason.

Sometimes parents can’t even understand why their child is screaming and crying.

In such a situation, mom and dad should find out what the baby wants and offer him their help.

You shouldn't scold your child, threaten him with punishment, or demand that he stop crying.
