My 3 year old was like this and still is. He never cried even when a newborn he would just scream. She is to young to do anything about now. My son is just now learning he doesn't have to scream to get his way. My Friend's baby is 7 months old and she does it too. The smarter the are the more they use it to their advantage. Good luck and buy some ear plugs. :)

Spoiling starts at birth, If your baby already knows that by screaming she will have her way, you are going to have your hands full. Sometimes just letting your child cry when they don't really need anything at all, is good. I would make sure that your daughter is not needing the essentials. And let her cry now and then. I read a psychology book "Strong willed children" and it explained to me that baby's are like 1 unit with there mothers, and a very attached until about one where they start to branch out and want to be there own person, your baby might just need some extra attention, every child is different, I think you should get that book it may help. But my advice to you let your baby cry now and then if there is no reason for her to be crying. It is good to cry a little now and then. But let her know that you love her more than anything in the world. Children need alot of love and attention especially little girls.

I'm going to start teaching my 15 month old sign language. She's getting the DVD's for Christmas and the whole family can learn together. She isn't much of a screamer, but she does get frustrated sometimes and can be very stubborn. Maybe your baby girl is angry more because she thinks you don't understand what it is she wants and she doesn't know any other way to express herself. Anyway, check out the website. It might appeal to you as well. Good luck!

Sit down on the floor beside her and look at her at her level. Tell her the name of the object that she wants (example: Ball, or Block) Hold it in front of her and say is several times, then give it to her. Keep up with that and soon she will learn that a great way to get what she wants, is simply to ask for it. It is never too early to enforce manners and vocabulary. Be patient with her. Its hard to want something and not be able to come out and say "hey mama, would you please pass me that ball over there!" Getting mad and annoyed is a visible emotion that your daughter can see on your face and body language. Maybe her screaming is her demonstrating what she is observing. Not trying to step on your toes, just giving friendly advice. Good luck.

my 21 month old is going thru this...YAY what fun. They are looking for a reaction. I am a people pleaser, myself, so for the last year i jump when the kids want something. This week i said to myself...honestly heather this is soooo stupid!!!.... SOOOO i talked to my twin sister, and she told me, what worked for her, is completely ignoring them. IGNORE completely.... no eye contact, no response to the screaming.... and it works. It sounds mean, but think about it, when she realizes that the screaming isnt getting a response, then she will realize hmm this isnt working. I know you may feel like she is too young but shes not. as long as shes fed, and has some toys, let her be!
