Abstract
It was Jean Piaget who first suggested that children learn by schema, or “a cohesive, repeatable action sequence possessing component actions that are tightly interconnected and governed by a core meaning' (Piaget.org, 2014).

Tantrums are behaviors that are learned by children, and as a result have to be governed by schema if Piaget’s theory on learning can be considered correct. The development of intentional or goal-setting behavior is correlated with the development of tantrum behavior in toddlers.
