[QUOTE="Malika, post: 423547, member: 11227"] Is it also because outside - ie mainly school - is also more structured and predictable, something that "explosive" children probably like? My son, as far as I know (and I think I would have been told), has never had what I call a tantrum, ie intense and prolonged crying, at school, yes has them regularly at home... I think this is probably partly because he always knows what to do and what to expect at school. But then he has never had a tantrum at the childminder's either, where he just plays with other children... I suspect it is also to do with "face". My son, and doubtless other similar children, seems to have a strong sense of what is and is not required of him socially, of what he is expected to do to conform and "please" - this sense seems to work well with him in a public setting. Just a few thoughts. [/QUOTE]
