My 17 month old son has been going through this fase of screaming at the top of his lungs in a high picht scream. He does it so much that he makes himself choke. Now we have done EVERYTHING to make sure we have taken care of what ever MIGHT be causing him to scream. Then we do a little tap on the mouth, then a tap on the tushy. All the time telling him no its not what we do here. Ok im at the melting point now. I can not take much more of him doing this. We have tried so much with him and nothing works. Ive even let him scream till he fell asleep and he still does it. I know its a fase and when he can finally talk it will stop. But, what do I do untill then. I am going to loose my mind and my hearing.

when my 18 month old daugher does this we just walk past her and pretend that we dont even hear her. he only wants to get your attention and he is doing it the wrong way and in return gets even more angry. pretend that you dont hear him and then when he stops go " you know that you are not supposed to yell at mommy. you have to be patient. now what do you want/ need?" if he replies with a scream in your face (which he will prolly do for the first few times) just get up (you should be on his level talking to him) and walk away and pretend that you dont hear him screaming again. he will eventually realize that you are not giving him a reaction for that behavior and move on to something more appropriate. i really hope this helps. please just be patient with him as well. when children act out like this they only want some "mommy or daddy time".... take a few minutes to get in the floor with him and play his favorite game. or he could just be sleepy and need some cuddle time. when he learns to communicate better this will stop. if you want to move things along try teaching him some signs. like for him to pat his belly when he wants food... and touch his mouth when he wants a drink. when you show him these movements for a few days he will eventually catch on and if that is what he wants he will let you know. then you can praise him and celebrate with a little dance (my daughter loves when i do this lol) even if you are in a public place. people have children and understand and if they dont then they have no right to laugh at you. i really hope this helps. good luck

I understand you not having a infant not with the flexibility to empathize with the mum and dad of the screaming infant....I besides the indisputable fact that mom of three, been there executed that and bore public ridicule can understand the not elementary situation the mum and dad have been in. We now stay in a society the place if the mum and dad had corrected the youngster by utilising grabbing,spanking, or elevating their voices by utilising the overpowering majority they could be considered as some sort of abuser. infants do struggle with the aid of tiers, yet they do outgrow them. I had my days..yet my infants are all 9 and up now and that i very often get complimented on how nicely behaved and well mannered they are. So do not problem...there remains wish on your screaming criminal.

You said you "have done everything to make sure and take care of whatever might be causing him to do this" I believe he is probably doing this for attention, like you said, you react to his screams every time, . My suggestion would be to let him throw his tantrum( as long as it is nothing serious wrong) until he is done. You dont have to jump up as soon as he does this , hes figured out that you will come if he does this. Just try to ignore this behavior , as hard as it is on the both of you, after a few times he will realize this isnt working with you any more .Children like attention , whether it be good or bad (like you spatting them). good luck

Do Not show tany reaction. Continue on with what you were doing and ask him at a stern but not mean ) and at a volume he can hear) To plase stop tthat. It that doesn't work, leave him alone and walk away. When he see that screaming will not work to get attenion or to get what he wnats, he will stop.
But until then i think your going to be stuck with a screaming child.

Instead of tapping his mouth, raise your voice and sternly tell him NO. My son did this, but he did not like it when we raise our voice to him so he stopped cold. DO NOT put a child in their bed as punishment. This will mke bedtime horrible. They will learn to associate bedtime with punishment and refuse to go to bed.

I would put him in his room in his crib and just leave him there until he stops. If he's screaming for no reason and you've done all you can to make him to stop then I would leave him in his room before you lose your temper.

I doubt its a phase. He obviously thinks
its okay to act that way since birth,
even if its only manifested itself now.
If I had ever tried that growing up, my
mom would've beat the crud out of me!

give him a bottle or sippy cup with milk juice or water when you put him in bed say "this is your sippy cup (or bottle) full of ...(what ever you put in there)"
