WHY ARE CHILDREN IRRITABLE
There are several reasons why children are irritable.
Sometimes there are medical problems like chronic ear infections, severe
allergies, or urinary tract infections that may make your child uncomfortable
and experience pain.
A common problem frequently overlooked is intolerance to milk. Children
who rely on a diet heavy in gluten (wheat products) or sugar products can
experience frequent mood swings and become picky eaters.
Some children are born fussy and have a difficult temperament. Children
with a difficult temperament are usually more intense, have a hard time
tolerating change, and distress easily.
It may be hard for them to keep a happy mood for very long. In addition,
these children tend to be less flexible when changes of any sort are
introduced.
As a result, they often get angry, whishing that things be done exactly how
