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.
