okay heres the deal i have a 1/12 year old daughter she has been driviing me nuts :) everytime I turn around she starts screaming I changed her butt i fed her I play with her but as soon as I get up if i dont pick her up she just screams. I have tried giving her an activity to do I have tried time outs but nothing seems to be working. Any good advice. By the way I know she has some teeth comming in so i gave her a little tylonal too. shes not sick or anything like that but she has major mommy issues. my 3 year old never acted like that so I need some good advice to try and stop the screaming.

Kitty,
We're on our 3rd child now, and each of them have been completely different.
We have been having a similar issue with our 2 year old daughter.. She loves her mum soooo much that she won't let her leave the house without her...
We are slowly getting to grips with it now, and she's starting to let my wife get on with her life..
What we did was use distraction... my wife would go out of the house and I would pull every trick out of the book to distract her... playing, cooking, fooling around, watching ceebeebies with her... and then after a while my wife would come back and give her some attention to show her that she was back and ok.. over a time (2 months) our daughter has become less and less fussed about being left, and now all I have to do is give her a quick hug and ask if she'd like to help me fix the shelf’s or something, which she generally says no and goes off to ply with her dolls?!! Hummm
I also agree with the other two answers, and bit of crying every now and then does no harm... eventually they need to learn that they are not the centre of the universe and other people (i.e. you) have feeling and considerations... it’s a tough lesson we all need to learn.
Hope this helps and good luck...

You could try a reverse for a couple days. Every time she begins to scream, pick up or begin to play with the 3 year old and (this is hard) ignore her. Sometime in the second day while you're playing with the 3 year old invite her to play, also. After 5 or 10 minutes you drop out. There's a chance that after a few times they'll get the hang of playing with each other.

I hate to tell you this but your just going to have to let her cry. I had to. Some kids just do that leave her be and pretend it doesnt bother you (i know easier said than done) but be persistant if you give in she will know that and keep doing it eventually she will get tired and stop
good luck to you

If you have done everything you can then let her cry. She will get over it and get tired of crying sooner or later. BUT DON'T GIVE IN. That is how spoiled children are created
