normally dd only has them when she is tired/hungry/sick but we will pick her up and normally go outside or another room. talk softly about something random....''do you remember that cat we saw the other day, can you remember what colour it was, what shall we have for dinner'' normally that works, dh is better at it than me, he can go out the door with her SCREAMING and come back in giggling!

if its a bad one, for attention, and im on my own, il move away from her , tell her when she has stopped she can come join in with what im doin and start playing on my own. doesnt normally take long!

good luck, hope it passes soon.
