Do you let your children scream?

Do you let your children scream?
Im talking about when they are playing, outside or in public spaces?
high pitched screaming or screeching?
If so why?
If not, why not?
Yabu: they are just children playing, leave them be.
Yanbu: they should be told to stop because it’s horrible for other people to listen to.

Sadly my 1 and 2 year old love a good scream. Drives me nuts but i won't stop it at their age by playing up to it so i let it go.

But by that point they have already screamed? And the OP would be holed up rocking in the corner.

I don't "allow" my 2 year old to scream. But that doesn't mean he doesn't scream. In particular he'll scream in response to another kid screaming (for example if he hears a child scream, he'll do a little scream back thinking it's funny). I correct him, tell him thats not nice and we aren't scream but I can't physically control him in advance...

Sometimes yes.

Sometimes I am exhausted by the futility and just allow them to let it out. TBF usually at home, or in a more isolated place (we live on an industrial estate, so they can make as much noise as they want really, our neighbours are mostly factories and train tracks).

My 17yo no longer screams so I think they grow out of it anyway. Can't remember when. Probably about 11.

Thank you.

I try not to .... for example if someone starts shrieking on the trampoline I call them inside.
However I voted YABU to have started such a judge goady thread.
Lots of posters have pointed out that their children never screamed much, it jwasn't something they did as parents. So it is probably down to children's temperament. You might as well start a thread "Do you allow your children to be nervous in new situations " or "Do you allow your children to enjoy spending quiet time alone"

Thanks for your discriminatory views on people with autism. I find people who show derision and hate to people with disabilities awful to be around, but the difference is they are in control of their views and could do something about it.
