how do i stop my two year old from screaming, she screams inside the house and outside the house even when we go out . then when its time to go she starts to scream because she doesn't want to leave. well anyway she's driving me crazy and i find myself losing my temper with her because she screams as though someone is killing her or harming her and im really embarrassed by it. what should i do ? please help !

Wow my kids are big now so let me think.How about time out.Have him sit in time out and explain to him why he is in time out.Its going to be hard work but i think it will work.Until he stops screaming and maybe he will learn to lower his voice and whisper what he wants.

well if it is at home do like my mother used to do to me and as annoying as it is just ignore her. she will stop pretty fast and want attention from you. and as mean as it seems just keep ignoring her for about 5 minutes. I learned pretty fast that if i scream I get shuned from my mom so i stopped very fast, or at least thats what I was told
