My 10 month old girl squeal/screeches so loudly and at such a high pitch that it is almost painful. Any ideas how to get her to stop or at least limit the behavior? I'm not sure how to try and get this across to a 10 month old.

Ignore it when she does it...praise her when she plays quietly.

Get a small tape recorder and the next time she does this , record it, and then play it back to her. Sounds crazy I know but it worked for me. My oldest daughter used to scream and yell even though we gave her more than enough attention. Seems like she enjoys the reaction she gets or as in my case she could be doing it cause she can. Just tell her that when you play it back this is not funny or nice. You may feel she doesn't understand at her age but she does. Took 2 times for my daughter to hear her self and she quit. I am now using this on my 4 year old to break her of temper tantrums. She is a little more bull headed but it is slowly working.
Good Luck!

My youngest did that two years later he was diagnosed with Autism. Though it's always best to speak to your child's physician ways to ease it are:
when the child starts screeching try singing with them it tends to teach them to verbalize more rather than squeal. Peek-a-boo and other games that not only still the noise but encourage more verbal and sight skills to assist the learning process and makes extra quality time with the parent fun.

Is she squealing out of joy and excitement? My twins always squeal. I think it is cute. They are just happy and expressing themselves the only way they know how. At least until they learn to talk...
Hope this has helped you..

Ignore it. Even at that age she is looking for a reaction from you. With girls, the squealing never goes away!

The more of a fuss you make over it...the more she will do it. If she sees that she gets a reaction from you, it will become a fun game..just try your best to ignore it or redirect her attention to something that interests her.

Don't react to behaviors that you don't like. That only reinforces them. Do something to redirect her attention so she forgets what she was doing.

1. ASK THE DOCTOR. If you do not ask the doctor something bad could happen.
2. Hope your baby isn't sick.
3. Earplugs.
4. Lullabies(if she can hear them).
5. SLEEP. Your baby's gotta sleep.

my 2nd child does that. ignore her as long as you can. when it gets to a point of you feeling like ripping your hair out, make a loud noise too and see what she does. it helped to curb it for mine. not saying it completely stopped it though...after a while, they do it less frequently and later on, i believe it will stop...
