  • DS has been doing this too! My mom was over and patiently said, "Use your words" to DS when he was screaming in his highchair. So encouraging him to express what he needs or wants by pointing or using words could help. I thought it was a good idea. And sh
  • Thank you ladies for posting this. My DS  is screaming for everything. I just  had to leave him with DH  in the other room, and look to see what other mom were saying and the methods they were using. I was starting to get overwhelmed.</p
