Pick a place for her to stay for time outs like the couch or your room or even her room. Put her there and tell her firmly it is time out bc of her screaming. They will understand. My baby now after a time out & his screaming & crying comes out of our room and is all better & tells us "I'm okay now mommy or daddy". We then talk to him about the situation & explain. But when they're having their tantrums you can't explain anything bc they're out of hand to listen. It is good for them to have the time out to think about it too & know you're not going to put up w/ such behavior.
The key is to be consistent & firm. You're the boss not him/her.

My 10 month old neice is going with the help of an identical ingredient. possibly its the age the position they're attempting to attempt us now. i'm her babysitter and its a touch tougher with self-discipline because i'm no longer her parent. She DOES understand no, yet she will be in a position to cry then snigger and do it again. So i began with an afternoon vacation. I only began this week and it operating already. If she does something undesirable, (she likes to pass bunt you frustrating) I placed her in the playpen for very jiffy. i actually tell her why and she or he seems at me and listens. that's been operating. little ones are a lot more desirable sensible then given credit for. sturdy success and want this permits you.

I would ignore her.. That's the only thing that used to work for my 3 kids... And is the only type of discipline you should use for a ten month old... It is just a phase that will go away if you ignore her... Also, so you don't lose your mind listening to the screaming, make sure she is in a safe place, such as a playpen or the crib, and walk away for a few minutes... Take a breather because if you are stressed, the baby will know it and use it to her advantage.. And it might make her worse.. Good luck..

No discipline... now is the time to teach her that acting that way isn't going to accomplish anything for her. So, you deal with whatever it is very calmly and with a soothing voice... and if she's still screaming, you walk gracefully away and don't allow her turmoil to be yours. Don't go running, don't panic, don't get upset...
This is where real "parenting" begins... If you want a relatively calm household, then this is how you model it...

NO discipline is for children old enough to listen and understand. Besides if you start smacking a baby for crying the feds will get involved. Get a book on parenting infants or get online.

You can't really discipline it--but you can ignore it. However, the moment you give in you have to understand the next time it will be worse. So if you're going to ignore it you have to stick to it.

crying, screaming, tantrums, they are the ways that kids express their frustration and anger. they don't know how to express it in words or other ways.
the very first time tell her "no, you cant have that" and forget it. let her scream, cry, kick but just go about doing what you need to get done. just make sure she is in an area where she wont hurt herself, or move things so she wont get hurt.

You could try to do what I am. Explain that yelling is not going to tolerated. I tell my son who is almost two that Mommy does not yell at him so he cant yell at me. Then I tell him that yelling is not going to work and it only gets him time out. He knows what I am saying because he will start again and I ask him if he wants a time out then he stops. I never let him sit in his time out chair for more than a minute, so he gets the point, but not being abused.

Yes you can start - ignore her. It's the only way. As soon as she screams at you, turn your back on her. It won't take long for her to realise that it doesn't get her anywhere.

Timeout in her room/crib...and let her scream. But...you need to ignore the screaming!!! If you don't come running or give in...she'll lose steam.
