To absolutely fucking hate...

[MinnieMouse5678]

...kids that squeal at the top of their voices for absolutely no reason than wanting attention!

And also their parents for not making them shut the hell up!

Im not talking babies or even toddlers, but young children just bloody squealing! Argh!!!!!!

Yanbu x a million

Urgh sooo grating

andsmile a child 'is not' SN, they 'have' SN. HTH.

raffle, No I didn't.

My toddler is going through a screaming phase at the moment.
I have no idea what to to stop him. I am trying ignoring it and distracting, but he is enjoying the sound it makes. It is a normal thing for his age.
I can't stand it and I don't imagine most parents like it either.
All I can do is wait it out and hope he doesn't bother too many people.

Parents who allow NT DCs to squeal and make no attempt to stop it are plain selfish. It's not just irritating it's painful and totally unnecessary.

My niece's DC has SN and squealing children cause him great distress and we have to remove him from the situation. Happy times at the park and soft play have been ruined for him by unnecessary shrieks and squeals.

Op you have no idea why the kids are screeching so imo yabvvvvvu

From a glance and a noise in a supermarket you have no way of knowing whether the chikd has SN's or just being nnaughty so please remove your judgey pants!!!

I absolutely fucking hate some of the attitudes on this thread.

I would like to know how some of you know "these children" don't have SN. Can you let me in on your secret please? Knowing when someone has a hidden disability would make life easier for a lot of people...

Of course not all these children are SN! My nieces were squealers. They aren't SN. Such a relief when they grew out of it. Intensely irritating. As someone said, like nails on a blackboard.

You'd doubly judge me having a "normal-looking" squealing six year old in the body of the supermarket trolley reading his Kindle.

Never any suitable wheelchair trolleys. I have thought about letting him on one of the motorised ones in order to reduce the withering looks and as payback

Bowlers no, they don't all have SN. My point is, how would you know if they do or don't?

Well you don't I suppose FifthSense. Maybe the OP should have put in a disclaimer excepting children who have SN. I would imagine that is what she meant. She needs to come back and tell us.

lyinwitch I've tried that once and it became a game to him, he is getting better or maybe that's just the vodka working for me! He's 3 so we still mastering the volume control and I've noticed that some people just don't like small people as even a miserable bastard on the bus moaned about my son laughing to loud.

I haven't noticed any squealing kids-mind you it's kinda hard to hear anything over the noise I let my kids make when we're out.

YABU and a little hysterical.

WetAugust said what I want to

I'm one of "those parents".

However, I find squealing children annoying. Funnily enough DD hates it more. It hurts her ears and gets her upset. Her NT cousins manage to reach that particular pitch which shatters glass and breaks hearing aids. DD doesn't though. So where do I fit in to the stereotype

As Wet August said, why bring SN into this discussion, it is clear the OP was speaking in general

My DD cant speak

So if she isnt happy she screams.

If she is happy she squeals.

Nt toddlers scream sometimes too.

Get over it

Sorry for not correctly refering to children that have SN - i think that says more about my lack of grammar than my attitude towards children with SN. I guess it is a lazy turn of phrase.

When looking down a class list it wouldnt be thought anything of to say he is SN she is G&T he is 'unit'. Kind of a verbal short hand. No offence intended with this turn of phrase, but point noted.

Does this means that a person cant have an opinion on any type of behaviour exhibiited by a child in case it overlaps with a that of a child with SN?

My child jumps and flaps he could be mistaken for stemming, but he isnt he just plays his 'games' and I have to remind him he is nt to do this in 'non play areas' as he may hurt himself or someone else.

Behaviours do not belong to one group of children exclusively therefore other people that come in to contact with children will have an opinion on behaviour which is appropriate for any given environment e.g. playground, dinner table, shop. Also in those environments the standards may vary. This is evident in classrooms: some teachers allow some chat other less so. Depends on the task they are doing and the individual teachers expectations.

It is fair enough though.

If you have a child who screams in a supermarket..and they have SN..you are allowed to respond to a thread about kids screaming in a supermarket.

No need for disclaimers. They are children likee wveryone else.

Or err like everyone else.

And whatever anyway, yes a child sceaming is annoying, you can be annoyed irritated by something in your own head space, you can think something annoys you in your own private inner world but ALSO be understanding, the tired mother/toddler or child with visible SN. it doenst make it any less annoying. Understanding allows one to tollerant and NOT make tuts or give looks.

Just because people are on a thread admitting to thinking a screaming noise annoys them does not make them terrible people. That is unless they go to share how they went over and shook the child to get them to shut up and gave the parent a gobfull of abuse.

How would the OP know though that the children she hears screaming don't have SEN? She doesn't.

As for a sharp slap on the leg?! I'd rather not hurt my child if it is all the same to you. I don't slap an adult if they are doing something I dislike so Lord knows why I'd slap a child.

do your shopping online, problem solved.

just well you are supposed to know, you just are, even if you have SN training like me I wouldnt know.
