My little girl yells all of the time, at me, her dad and even other kids her age. It drives me crazy and I know yelling back hasn't helped... any advice?

you talk about yelling back, maybe that's where she got it from?
Does she have older siblings? Does she feel that her voice isn't heard at home? How much attention does she get when she is saying something? Maybe some attention from you on this front would help the problem.
Also telling her that you are not going to listen or respond to her when she's yelling may help.
My daughter went through a stage of yelling. I think it was to do with her feelings of not being heard, when I spent more time with her on her level, on the floor and playing and reading books the shouting lessened.

You yell back at a baby yelling and you wonder where she learned to yell? Maybe time for you to examine your own behaviour before asking people what to do about a two year old baby. Pay a little more attention to the kids you've produced. They are not toys to be taken off the shelf when you feel like playing with them, and they certainly will not wait for your convenience. You can't expect a 2 year old baby to understand what 's right and wrong. You have to guide them not discipline them with a whack. In this situation the one who needs a whack is you for yelling at a two year old.

You can try:
1) ignoring her yelling. This may just be a tactic to get attention. Any attention. Attention brought on by yelling.
2) giving her a good swat on the butt every time it happens. She should pick up real quick on that.
3) get her hearing checked if it's yelling in conversation, and not just in anger. She may be hard of hearing, despite her young age. Good luck.

SAME SITUATION. My two year old has more attitude in her little finger than most people have in their whole adult body. Yeah, I did the yelling back thing too. lol I have to say though, she really takes it hard when she's put in a time out. If she gets really bad I just put her to bed until she calms down. Its a slow process but it does seem to be helping.

My son is now 4 and form 18 mos to 27 mos we went through the same thing. I tried soap, I tried time outs, you name it we tried it. Finally the only thing that worked was a small slice of lemon in the mouth. It took about 2 weeks of constant work but he stopped. When our 2 year old started doing the same thing and we broke out the lemon slices and it only took a few time of the lemon before he figured it out and quit.

Have you tried ignoring her when she's having a fit? It'll be difficult at first, but with practice, ignoring her during these fits will come easier to you. Once she sees that she can't get you riled up that way anymore, she'll give up the yelling for good. Take care!

Put her in time out- a squirt bottle might help=-just give her a spray when she yells- it won't hurt her- and it will get her attention-or a paddle in the padded bottom and time out- D

Have her stop talking, talk to her in a quiet voice, and ask her to repeat what she would like to say in a quiet voice like yours. If she gets excited again, you just break the cycle, remind her to be quieter, and keep at it until she gets it.
