Anyone know how to stop a two year old girl from screaming non-stop..any advice?

Question

She's not in any pain..and her ears have been checked..she just screams if you try to take something from her...or when she's talking back..any suggestions?

Answer 1

there is nothing abnormal in that child's behavior. if any body wants to take any thing from a two year old child, that child begin crying and it is regarded as a normal behavior by child psychologists.we adults don't express our feelings due to several reasons like non acceptance of society, if any body asks us any thing we just curse that fellow and call him names but overtly say OK you can take it. but children's brains were not conditioned to hypocrisy in that age. but we should not encourage that type of behavior and try to modify that behavior by reinforcement and punishment.give rewards when she laughs and don't pay attention to her when she cries. these are simple techniques.

Answer 2

Yes stop giving in and tell them as long as your screaming your not going to get it under any circumstances. You've started something that you now must correct. Tell this child I am the adult and you are the child. It is my way and bottom line screaming doesn't hurt me but if you continue I definitely will give you a reason to scream then if it continues and you have tried the time out chair and the corner try pulling down their britches and giving them one quick swat then pull up their britches and sit them in a chair and tell them if it continues you will walk out the door and sit out side until they are finished with their tantrum and that is what you should really do where you can see them but can't hear them. They will get the point that they are all on their own if they want to act so silly. You are giving in and giving them negative attention which is how it all began I'm sure so now you have to change a negative into a positive and this is going to take Little time.When they are bad don't reward them only good behavior gets a reward such as kisses and hugs candy and walks things that show them you want them to be good not bad if they want your attention.

Why dont you try and stop screaming yourself. Seriously, children learn from what they see and hear. At the age of 2, i do not think she has much outside influence than her care takers.
In this case she has not yet leaned to share, but it is ok now, some annoying behavior go away as kids grow older. Now, you have to be sure whether she is yelling for just attention or is provoked. Mist often if just a tantrum, ignoring works best. dont play along with her scripted drama. let her know by your facial expressions (no eye contact) that you do care but are too busy too play this game. try changing the topic. distract her by talking about something else, dance, sing, just act funny (if u have the energy that is).
kids can be quite a handful at this age. but its important that some play time is set aside with a kid that age, where you just dance together, color, paint, draw learn poems ect ect.
dont encourage TALKING BACK. Neither should you.

Answer 4

She's two and discovering how well she can control the adults around her. If she has something she's not supposed to have, take it and let her scream. The talking back is just a new way she's learning to socialize. Don't inhibit her too much, but be consistent about rules like: no touching certain things, no hitting, no saying curse words. She may seem like she's being spiteful, but she's just discovering different ways to interact.

Answer 5

distract her with something else when you are trying to take something off her, watch supernanny its so helpful!!!

she has this naughty spot, and the child has 3 warnings you say to her what warning she is on etc if she gets to 4 you put her on this step for 1 minute of each year of her life, so thats 2 minutes. when you go and get her say why you put her on there, so mummy put you on this naughty spot because you kept screaming at mummy and not listening when told to stop. sounds harsh but it works. then ask for a apology cuddle
the supernanny has said not to put a child in a room by theirself and shutting the door as it makes them worse.
i think the program is on 4 (uk) and on tuesdays or mondays, not too sure, i think it was on yesterday, yea so tuesday. good luck xXx

Answer 6

My daughter tried that bit. I called the rest of the family, wife and parents and we sat around and watched her. We voted on when she screamed best. Then she decided to lay on the floor and kicked her heels. My step mother told she could kick better than that when she was a girl.. We voted on the kicking also. After about 15 minutes it began to dawn on her that this wasn't working so she quit.
Good luck

Answer 7

Give her some pills. dang. Sounds like you have your hands full. Have her ears checked by another Dr. She might need tubes, esp if shes screaming for no reason. spanking works too if she's screaming cause she's mad, or she could be testing you by screaming at you. show her who's boss.

Answer 8

You could ignore her, or make her exercise until you get tired. Situps, running in place, pushups, jumping jacks, etc. Sounds like she is spoiled (sorry) and needs to learn to share things, and to talk with respect and the proper tone of voice. Good luck!

Answer 9

put your foot down now or this 2 year old will grow up in to a 15 year old but with a worse attitude. put her in timeout, and and be consistant. i have a 2 yearold and when he started that i put a stop to it. it is a battle to see who is the dominant one.

Answer 10

Oh yeah...ignore her. Or if ur at home....scream back. You've got urself a diva in the making here...help her now before she turns into a totally spoiled brat. May sound harsh, but hey, it isn't called tough love for nothing. Good luck.
