Advice please! DS2, who is now 13 months, has developed the habit of shrieking to attract attention, get more food, be put down, be picked up, etc, etc. It is a particularly horrid, high-pitched shriek, which can go right through you. DS1 never did this, so we are a bit confused about how to deal with it. DH insists that his tinnitus (sp?) has started up again because of it, and now can not even stand to be in the same room as the shrieker. I know a consistent approach is needed, and DH wants us to simply put him in another room wheenever he shrieks, but I have to admit that this really upsets me. He just screams and cries, and I'm not convinced that he is old enough to understand why this is happening. Help!
