In person, I have taught children & their attention span is short. I would give small breaks but when teaching, turn it into a game or be a little silly to make them laugh. When they get tired or bored, they get cranky.
I have never had such an experience

Try to avoid immediately giving them your solutions or consequences and instead ask questions leading them to think on their own. Find ways to give your students choices they can handle, celebrate with them when their choices work out and hold them accountable when they make mistakes.🌍👌
