5 year old shouting

[Salene]

Hello my 5.5 year old shouts all the time and I don't know what to do to stop him
The minute you don't do as he wants he shouts, if he is another room and wants you he screams at the top of his voice MUM
He shouts at his brother, he shouts when outside

It's driving me crazy, I try to tell him I'm not talking to you till you speak in a nice voice which he will then do but goes back to shouting two minutes later.

Anyone else got a shouty child and if so how do you deal with it

Thanks

Shout if added he can also be really rude and demanding too , which goes along side with shouting

Like shouting demands etc at me.

Yep same here with my 5yo no words of wisdom just that you are not alone!
I can only put it down to frustration of lockdown and his way to vent as hes never been this shouty so often before hand

It will be his emotions from being in lockdown. My 5 year old is the same.

I would keep correcting him by talking softly back and say things like "let's think Imof a better way that you could get my attention" "do you have any ideas on a kinder way to say that?" This gives them a sense of control while also enabling them to think of alternative ways.

Always say thank you and give praise when he asks you nicely and is kind where he would usually shout/be rude.

Maybe try a sticker chart for each half day he goes without doing it?

Sorry should of added it's been like this for a while it's not lockdown, he is actually perfectly happy in lockdown, he live in country so haven't really had to change much, still spending most our days outside in garden etc playing. He hasn't really noticed a change

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone at least that's reassuring , hopefully they grow out of it, it's so taxing at time.

My 4.4 year old shouts all the time and screams and gets very excited all the time drives me nuts. So no you’re not alone hoping it’s a phase or I might get his hearing checked.

The most important thing to remember is not to allow the shouting to work for him.

I would think of it like tantrums. Lots of children go through a phase of doing it but they only carry on if it gets them what they want.

Act like you haven't heard him when he shouts so he has to remember to stop and use a sensible voice to get whatever he's after.

Has his hearing been checked recently?

Popinjay no his hearing hasn't been checked but I don't think it's that, he shouts more is bad tempered and demanding. He is always getting into trouble for shouting . I hope he stops it's soon it's very grinding
