2yr9m screaming

[littleraysofsunshine]

Her instant reaction is screaming. Tantrums are just screams.. Or lashing out. Especially over a toy with big sister. I try to talk to her eye level, calmly and ay use your words and mumma will help you. What's wrong.
It's bizarre as well as she is very forward and advanced for her age, speech is impeccable. But also lashed out in frustration.

Maybe it's because it gets the reaction?

My son who is 3 in august sometimes does this but it improves when we ignore it. Ie saying you can't hear them until they talk quieter or ignoring them. Sometimes if you need to talk to her at the time sometimes whispering works as she's just too nosy not to try and hear what you're saying. It will pass. Xxx

DS is the same age and has started this. If he does it when he wants something I just say to use his words. Then until he does I just kind of ignore him

Ignoring only infuriates her more in some cases. If she's in a zone where she can be spoken to, I just say use your words and talk to mummy if there is a problem. But sometime that's ignored and it'll escalate then I end up having to shout to get her attention to stop and snap out of it.

So if her sister takes a toy, the instant thought is to scream. Frustration but not knowing how or when to use words as opposed to screaming blue murder

Bed time is worse too. She will just scream and refuse to go to bed without one of us laying with her. Hasnt always been like this only the past six months or so. And she's also now got chicken pox so is unsettled but it's been constant. Screaming. Anytime she's not getting her own way it's screaming. But it's a scream as if she's neglected or something. God knows what our neighbours think. We're very laid back parents but today we've both shouted at her for just not stopping.

And I'm just stood in tears for shouting. She's now shouting that she's been sick when she's not.

We're all for comforting but we just can't understand why the need to scream whenever it's not going her way. Or at bed time. We've never once made them feel like we're not here for her.

We have three small littles. So it's hard balancing but it's just crazy at the minute. The most part she is a happy funny little girl but he age of 18months- the best medicine is a cuddle half the time. But then the others miss out when I'm trying to get them to sleep too.

She use to happily take herself up to bed but now it's a nightmare

May be a valid point that she still has a out three molars to come through yet.i know they have emotional difficulties and find it hard to understand as they're so small, particularly if they're advanced for age which she is.

She's just gone to sleep with a cuddle and she said sorry for crying and screaming. I just burst into tears as I felt terrible for resulting in raising my voice for her to please stop after nearly an hour of screaming.

We haven't got strict"you must go to bed alone" and we do the story time, snuggles at bed a lot. It's just hard to then balance that out when my partner isn't here and I only have a pair of hands for three of them who want me.

I feel awful when I end up shouting. As I'm obviously trying to teach her not to shout then I end up doing it in one last minute of desperation for the screaming to stop.

It's only recent that it's been this bad. Some times it's not like this at all.maybe it's been the brewing of chicken pox and the fact we've just gt back from holiday.

I usually offer all the cuddles in the world but I was settling baby boy and she woke him with screaming.

My youngest daughter is a screamer too, very loud and near impossible to stop once started.

No idea how to stop it, I try to ignore or distract if possible.
