How do I stop the yelling???

[fourthontheway]

Oh yeah ... I'm frequently saying "shhhhh" and by night time I've been known to shout "SHUSH" which seems pointless since children learn more from what we do, than what we say

Most of the time he's ok now though, we told him that he can shout outside, but not inside. It's only when he gets excited he forgets and shouts these days.

It does your head in doesn't it. It'll pass

Yep, DS has just started doing this and is going through a real defiant stage, I think he's testing his boundaries, but it's driving me bonkers!!

damn, was hoping to find a magic cure for BEING REALLY LOUD ALL THE TIME. I have two who are loud a hell. and floorboards, which makes it all the more pleasant (not).

we try and say "inside voice please" but it rarely works (sigh)

she gets it from her brother who is even louder so comparitavely speaking she is the quiet one lol..

I try the inside voice approach too!!! I know its a phase as he is discovering all different emotions and how to TRY and control them ...... but geezzzzz it does your head in sometimes!!!

GoingtobebiginAsia - you weren't unsupportive all hun xx I am sure its a phase and we will ride it out like everything else -

Yelling is perfectly normal for a 2 year old. At this age its all about learning exactly what that little body of theirs can do. Just remember that from his perspective its not about you, he's not yelling to upset you or get you cranky, its just fun. Sounds completely normal. And yes it will pass as all phases do, it can just be tough riding it out sometimes.
