Screaming (not crying) toddler and baby

Sometimes babies and toddler just need to cry but when they start screaming we tend to become impatient and throw tantrums ourself. I don't have a toddler yet but I have experienced taking care of nephews and nieces who throw tantrums and become whiney and start screaming on the top of their lungs. based from my babysitting experiences, I noticed that my niece or nephew starts screaming if she/he doesn't get what they want. Or sometimes they are exhausted and too sleepy but doesn't want to be put to bed. I get crazy sometimes and usually become impatient. My patience was too short before but Now that I have a baby myself I noticed that my patience became longer. I have read from parenting books that you can help them stop is by distracting them. You can give them toys, food, an activity to do or sometimes our best friend..TV works also. If it happens in public areas such as the mall, grocery or wherever, My Sister usually talks to her daughter in a soft voice like: "please use your indoor voice please" or sometime she says "lower down your voice please" It usually works with my niece but I don't know with other babies. You can try this trick. Another experience I encountered is when my cousin was shouting and throwing tantrums, my aunt gave him a time out. He was not allowed to play with his toys and stand in the corner for 2 minutes. It actually worked. I hope I was able to help.

You need a sound proof bubble, it only they made one and a travel one two wouldn't that be great. I feel you pain I have a home daycare and they have all decided it is time to be as loud as they can while inside outside whenever they are awake. I have tried many different things and nothing has worked sometimes I really have to leave the room for a minute. I can go upstairs and still see them but I really think that I am going deaf and I am not sure how they aren't. This is usually a problem by the end of winter when we can't get outside as much but it is already starting and we are still able to go out almost everyday for a bit. It is going to be a long winter. I am starting to think I should drink LOL. I would say ear plugs for a while and hope that it is a phase or try to make it sound really fun to scream into a pillow or something you still get noise and you get to retain some hearing. Good luck and I hope you have a quiet home sooner rather than later.

I have got a three year old son. He is disabled and as a result of that he is unable to walk. He is frustrated seeing his baby sister walking. Sometimes he simply screams really loudly indeed. The noise of his scream is so loud that it hurts my ears. I am trying to ask him to use his words instead of scream. I don't want my 17 month old baby daughter to learn to scream. To stop my dogs barking I ring a bell. So I am thinking of how to make sure my son stops screaming. Good luck with getting Billee and Jack to stop screaming too.

Hi, It can be pretty stress when our kids are screaming at home. I also can't take such pressures as I like to have a lonely home ,so that I can rest well at home. But you have to stay calm and told your kids to well behaved. I know that they are still too young to really understand your words,but your patience is need in handling them.

When at home do not get up set. Calmly tell then it isn't how someone should act. Put them in their rooms/cribs and let the scream it out. If attention is not given it will stop. Know though that the first few times they will scream longer thinking you will give in. Don't. If you are in a store simply leave your cart by the sales counter ( they will understand) take them to car and let them scream it out. All the while speak slow, calm and in soothing tone. It will not stop after one try but it wll stop when they don't get the attention they want. Oh and 14 months is not too young to understand I get what I want if I scream. Good luck.

Maybe try giving them a teething ring or a lollipop? Sugar free, of course.
