My 19 month old nieta has started throwing temper-tantrums when she does not get her way. What is this called in Spanish. I can't find it in the dictionary.

I would say either 'berrinche' or 'rabieta'. I have seen both used.

Thansks I have heard berrinche but didn't know how to spell it or pronounce it. - gringojrf, Feb 8, 2013
How would it be used in a sentence? ¿Mi hijo echó un berrinche? - sinmeta, Feb 8, 2013
