Temper tantrums or otherwise called “acting-out” behaviors are natural and common in children. These are often unpleasant and troublesome to the child, parents and also to the society. They are commonly observed in response to unmet desires. This can get worsened when the child lacks the vocabulary to communicate his or her feelings. In Ayurveda, there is a different concept of Grahabadha that affect children. It refers to affection with certain specific constellation in children leading to corresponding changes in their behavior and manners.
