I’m at the end of my tether. I have a 19 month old. She’s always been clingy. Crying if I stand up, leave the room, she thinks I’m going to leave the room. She’ll only do car naps or contact naps and is to light a sleeper to move. She’s very active and that’s fine. The last week though. She screams at me all the time at home. Literally screams at me throws toys at me. Screams at me no matter what I do with the toys. Just screams and screams. There’s no distracting her and to add to my problems now I’m apparently not allowed to eat either. I think I’ll have to take meals away from the family as she’s decided that that’s another thing to scream at me for. I’m overwhelmed by the noise. She’s so loud you can’t talk to someone your almost touching 12 foot away you can’t even yell above her to speak 12 foot away touching another person. I’m exhausted and my brain and ears feel fried. She’s fine if I’m not in the room but her dad’s there. I’m starting to have to leave the room as I’m feeling so overwhelmed and emotional. I have a headache that won’t go.

Do you give in to get when she screams? If she's fine when her Dad is there it sounds like she's learnt that screaming gets you to do what she wants.

Is she in any kind of childcare?

What's her speech/general development like?

Is this angry/frustrated screaming or just likes the noise screaming? I assume the former?

Does she do this for all caregivers or only you? Is she getting enough sleep (I realise this is tough with some kids). My eldest was a nightmare at this age if she was tired or hungry.

Hi. She’s not in childcare there is non where I live, also no payments or parks so no spaces to take her a walk. She does go to parent toddler groups during term time. It is frustrated crying but literally nothing stops it like even she doesn’t know what she wants. It goes on for hours sometimes. I do try to distract her but usually have to just ignore it or leave the room for a bit. She usually gets good sleep. 12 hours at night and an hour during the day. Sometimes she’s up for hours at night though and all I can do is cuddle her till she eventually goes down. So maybe 1-4am she can be up in the night
