We’ve all seen the toddler tantrums while grocery shopping but we’ve also witnessed the sassy backchatting of a rebellious teen. So which one is really worse? Answer our poll here:
According to Healthline, toddler tantrums may seem endless (especially in the moment), but a 2003 study estimated that about 75% of tantrums in children aged between 18 to 60 months last around five minutes.
The article explained that most young kids, especially in the Western World, go through this phase between 18 months and three years old.
In a separate report, Healthline stated that teens can be moody and defiant at times, but it is usually a completely normal part of being a teenager. However, they did note how important it is for parents to talk to their teens before their behaviours reach a stage of concern.
