He likes to shriek when things dont go his own way. If you are in his way, he will yell. It's a high pitched one too. He has no paitence, and it's really annoying his father, who tells him no and hits him lightly. When he shriks, I sit him down and say "Use your words." But he really does not.
So my question is, how do I break this habit?

Firdt of all, you have a COMPLETELY NORMAL two year old boy. The very best thing you can do is pretend that you dont hear his screams. If he knows it doesnt work, he will stop. It will take a while, and he will most likely scream as loud and as long as he possibly can, but he will eventually stop. Just go on with buisness as usual. Dont look at him or aknowledge him at all.
My daughter used to scream "Help!" in the middle of the store if I tried to keep her in the cart. it was horribly embarrassing, and people would look at me like I was trying to kidnap her, but I just stapped her back in the cart over and over and ignored her, and one day, she just stopped.
Tell your husband to just ignore it, to go in another room if he cant handle it, because even if he spanks your son, your son is getting attention, and he knows that what he is doing is getting to his daddy. and therefore, working.

My 2 1/2 year old is the same way (maybe even a bit worse). If she is told NO she screams at the top of her lungs and yells, She has even hit me a few times. I tried to ignore it. It did NOT work. she kept screaming. 1 day she screamed for 45 minutes. I had to go outside for some peace and quite. I have started putting her in the crib and shutting the door when she acts like this. I tell her when you are ready to act like a big girl call me and I will come and get you. Now when she screams like that I pick her up and put her in the crib and walk out. about 2 minutes later she is calling for me to come and get her.

I'm am glad you ask this question. My 2 1/2 yr old grandson is doing the same thing. He and my daughter live with me. I have a son & daughter they did not do this and I am at a loss. Sometimes it is hard ignore him. I try to sit him in time out that does not work either. He fights me on this, he also yells, screams, cries. I will try this right now I will try anything. Good Luck

ignore the shrieking until it becomes absolutly unbearable then, without a word, scoop him up and put him in a timeout spot. My son is this age and hasent yet mastered climbing the baby gate so I baracade him in one area with the gate. He can't come out until he calms down and says he's sorry (and means it). You are his role model so if you want him to use his words in a decent tone of voice, you have to be sure you are not screaming or yelling at anyone in his presence, even him. I wish you the best of luck

Ignore him. Shrieking two year olds can really take a chunk out of your patience, but don't give in and ignore him if you can help it. I also find it helpful to go around, opening the fridge and oven and saying, "Where's {kid's name}? There's this boy here who looks like {kid's name}, but he's screaming. I wish I could find {kid's name} .." This can sometimes get on the kid's nerves and he'll calm down. And it's not a violent reaction to the kid either: I hate violent reactions.

my son is in elementary words 18 months previous... so its quite close. yet hes quite hyper too. Devon - my son has voluntary listening to. If i call for him he wont come to me, or if hes doing some thing incorrect and that i say no he keeps doing it. Your son is attempting out to ensure how a techniques he can push you. you want to be stern with him, and enable him comprehend whos the boss... Im confident this is a level hes dealing with yet dont enable him imagine its okay to bounce on the fixtures and throw toys. My son- even as he's taking section in gained't enable me carry him both- and if i take a toy faraway from him he throws a in nice condition screaming and then he pounds his head on the floor and hard too! I hate showing him my reaction and telling him no or taking some thing faraway from him becasue I dont opt for him to smash himself. The Dr informed me to do what i favor to do and enable him get indignant. Its okay to punish your toddlers or tutor them the guidelines even as they're this youthful- If he's misbehaving and by no skill listening tutor him there are outcomes. positioned him in his bedroom for 2 minutes. age=minutes. some ought to disagree with this and Im sorry, each and every determine has there personal thanks to teach there toddlers. wish this enables.

Ignore this behavior put him in another room and let him throw his fit, when he realized your not reacting he will give up. Or if he screams like that tell him to use your words if he doesnt put him on time out til he stops screaming then let him get up, explain to him again why he was in time out and then tell him to not do it again. Hug him and tell him he did good on time out.

what ever you DO NOT give in to him and my sister used to put my nephew in time out when he would shriek or yell and tell him he cant get out until he can act nicer and if he would try to get out then she would whip him not hard but enough for him to know he shouldnt do it that worked for him.

My mom had a two year old in daycare like that. This is what she did:
ignored her
sat her in time out or corner
took away privelages like playing barbies but in your case you might take away cars? t.v?
