Ds that is, and it is driving me nuts.

He is 4.8 and if I tell him off, or he is grumpy (often) or basically for any reason, he then screeches at me at the top of his voice and gets louder and louder.

Now i am a bit shouty and have tried not to be, but it's obviously me he's got it from, although I never screeched liked he does.

Anyway, how do i stop it ??

I have tried refusing to listen until he speaks quietly and calmley but it makes no difference, and I have to admitt I have ended up telling him to shut up or go away, before my head explodes.

Ds2 is like this ( he was 4 at beginning of july)- I just ignore him. He screams that he hates me!!

Oh yes we have 'you are so annoying' screeched at the top of his voice, and to me which is so funny but not all at the same time.

Oh and he has completely forgotten how to say please and thankyou etc.

Such a shame, as he can be so polite and lovely when he wants to be.
