    Help - Squealing!!!

    My Darling Izzy has taken up Squealing lately - and its really giving me a headache and sore ears. . . is this a faze they go through - and when will it stoppppppp. . .

    She squeals in the car, in her chair, when your holding her, its an excitment squeal but its soooo loudddd. . .

    Anyone know how to stop her from doing it - im afraid shes going to damage her voicebox or our ears. . .

    No suggestions, sorry. We tried everything to stop ds from doing it (he was especially piercing when I was trying to talk on the phone), he did grow out of it though. Although, in saying that it seems to be a thing that comes and goes... it would stop for a while then in a few weeks he'd rediscover it.

    It is a very difficult thing to listen to isn't it! You have my sympathies...

    LOL! Sorry its just so cute isnt it! Our Izzy has taken to doing this in the shopping centre at the moment and being Christmas I'm there quite a bit- it literally sounds like someone is being murdered and people walk past me with that combined smile of pity and laughing at her!!! I guess it's better than her crying!!

    No advice but i know where you are coming from my DD started sqealing at about the same age. She is now 21months and sqeals when she is frustrated, happy etc etc. I try to tell her that indoors she needs to be quiet and only use her indoor voice but when she is 'emotional' she gets carried away. i will follow this thread though to see what advice you get.

    No advice here either, I know my SIL said she would ignore DD when she did it but she was over 1 & knew she wasn't getting any attention...so would stop.
    It's just part of them finding their voice & often it's squeels of delight so you know they are happy. Charlie started a long time ago & at 6am, ohhhh so annoying & usually takes it up a notch just when wanting to hear something on the news!!
    Like Dee said, it will come & go. We thought it was over & all of a sudden "it's baaack"!!!he,he.

    Its definitely a phase!!! Ethyn went thru it at about 4 months and has now as from a few weeks ago decided to start doing it again, but this time its 20 times louder than before!!!! I often wonder what the neighbours think when he is in that mood!!!
