It will pass.
There's no reasoning with them. Get everything done swiftly and firmly then move onto cheerily to something nicer.
It will end when he realises that the shrieking doesn't stop him having to do things. That light will dawn one day 
In the meantime stock up on gin and chocolate, paint on a smile and remember that anyone watching is more likely to be empathising than hoiking their judgy pants.
Good luck.
