nup, I'm with ya babe....arghhhh and then DD thinks she needs to up the volume to compete....
Have to say though, over the last firtnight his language has all of a sudden gone ahead in leaps and bounds (he was previously known as the Silent Assassin) and it is improving.
My DD is almost 3 and she is getting ALOT better!! I just keep reminding her to use her words and i dont respond to her screaming... it is a long road, but so worth it in the end!!!
I have the same issues and with DS I used to speak quieter and often he would scream quieter in response DD does it when she is annoyed (23 months old) and my goodness she had perfect pitch .............. for causing industrial deafness!!!!!!
OMG -my DS2 (15mths) is the noisiest child I have!!! It drives me crazy, he actively sets out to drown out his siblings and anyone or anything else! Even worse at the moment, he has started 'singing' along to the music in the car - only he doesn't use words, has no sense of tune and has to be louder then the music. His older siblings are forever 'dobbing' on him for screaming and feel it is ssooo unfair that he doesn't get in trouble for it and that he keeps on being noisy even when he (and they) are told to be quiet. Life is so unfair, according to my other two - and I agree, but how to you get the screaming toddler to understand and accept your judgement that they should be quieter and not compete on the noise factor.
Has the same issues! My girls would scream all day every day if I let them!
I keep reminding them that they have to be quiet inside... Doesn't work tho
Well my eldest boy (age 48) is still screaming!!!!!!!
I woke up this morning, couldn't get back to sleep cause of all the screaming, so got up, screamed at them both, send the 3.5yr-old into tears and then went back to lock myself in the bathroom.
Lol gotta say I laughed too.... I HEAR ya LOUD and clear!! My 19 month old thinks that screaming and throwing himself onto the beanbag is how it's done. If there's no beanbag or lounge around he'll bend over and put his head on the floor/ground...lol. He grunts and indicates but if he's being nice and quiet, he'll come and take your hand to take you where he wants to show you something.... BUT if you don't give him what he wants, then he screams to communicate his unhappiness about it!
Kaz... pmsl that made me laugh and I've done that before too!
