I have a new placement who has behavioural problems, the worst of which is constant screaming. The minute he doesn't get his own way he screams until he gets what he wants - I've been ignoring it (which can lead to him screaming for ages) but as I also have a 6 month old living with me who's getting upset by it I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
LO is 18 months old and has obviously used this tactic successfully at home and I know it'll take a while to change things but I'm not sure how long I can last! At times this week I've had to leave the room as the screaming has made me physically shake.
I have managed to improve some of his bad behaviour but am also wary of pushing too far too fast.
Any advice???
