sometimes younger children take break ups harder then others, give him time. also maybe try not to let him have tantrums, give him what he wants to a certain extent. but dont make it look like you are, casually give him what he wants and see if he still has tantrums.
Without knowing your grandson, there's no way really to respond to your questions about why he might be acting out in the home. But the fact that the behavior is confined to the home indicates that the solution will be in the mother-child interaction. I'd suggest an evaluation by a pediatric mental health/behavioral health professional, with the particular request to design a systematic approach to managing the behavior in the home.
