Screaming child

[katieolson]

My almost one year old daughter loves to scream. I dont now why. i have taken her to the doctor thinking something is wrong and she is fine. i think she might be doing it for attention but not sure. my husband and i try to ignore her but she just keeps screaming and we dont now what to do. can u please help

Is she screaming as in crying screaming or just screaming as in finding her voice?

My one screams all the time and I usually clap my hands and join in and sometimes give her her tambourine to bang as well.

Its just a 'new' thing that children learn, it will pass.

LOL - if it is a shrieking kind of scream and she is not in pain, yes it is a phase! Mine did it, my friends kids all did it - we all just joined in and soon the novelty wears off.

We've got 5 kids and the two youngest are 14 month old twins. The only screamer we have had is one of the twins (the girl) - she could scream for Britain (and has been since she was about 8 months old). We put her on the sofa (always in the same place) and let her calm down. When she stops we get her down and carry on as if nothing has happened.

hi.. i really sympothise with you. My second boy is also nearly one.. and for the first 9 months of his life he screamed!! I was the same and took him to the docs/ health visitors, sure there must be something wrong and of course... nothing!!
in the end i got to the end of my tether!! i liturally checked he was ok (clean, not hungry etc) then put him down and got on with what I was doing.. he screamed for about 40 mins (I was obviously with him the whole time to check nothing had gone wrong) as soon as he stopped i picked him up and gave him loads of love. the next time it was reduced dramatically!! it really didnt take long at all for him to cheer up!! honestly now he is the happiest little fella and enjoys his life!! (and I do to!) he was bad at night too.. so we did the same thing. checked him.. then left him.. it really did take 2 nights.. now he sleeps through..
Its really hard to do at the time.. but trust me its all worth it.. and its so much nicer to hear laughing than screaming..!!!
good luck with whatever you do!!
