Our daughter is 15 months old and for the past few months she's figured out she can scream, and I mean shreak! She does it if she doesn't like something, or just becasue she can. It's gotten worse as time goes on, she's doing it more often and louder. I know kids do this, but what do you do to try and get them to stop, or understand that what they're doing is wrong? We've tried ignoring her, thinking she's doing it for attention and that doesn't work. Is this a phase that will just pass, and if so when!?  I know at this age it's still hard for her to understand right and wrong, but I'm at a loss for how we should be reacting or trying to curb this, help!! Thanks! |

My girls (2&4) love to scream especially when they are having lots of fun playing...I just remind them they are inside so they need to use inside voices..usually works and if that doesn't work I sit them down and explain that they are loud and until I can see they are understanding me I let them go back to playing...it usually calms them down too. If its a mad scream I sit them in their room until they calm down it takes the2 yr old a minute to realize her screaming isn't going to get her anything so she comes back out happy as can be.

You could try whispering to her. Usually they quiet down to hear you.

My DS went through a stage like this around the same age. We would just remind him to use his inside voice and that it isn't necessary to scream like that. Eventually he grew out of it.
It's tough but try to just remind her to use her inside voice.
Good luck!
