screaming.

DD won't stop screaming. Like, a shrill type scream. I put her time out, she screams. I've spanked, and it's done nothing. I won't be spank happy about it because it doesn't help and I don't want to be excessive. I've explained inside voices and outside voices. I'm somewhat at a loss. And she does it when she knows I can't instantly do anything about it like when we're in the car. We are with some friends a few times a week and they have a son that screams constantly. They love playing together and have fun, but I think that's where she's learning it from. I don't want to stop having playdates, and can't really as his mother and I do a lot of church things together. Any suggestions?

    totally ignore her and walk away when she does it.  Like go upstairs downstairs, etc. whatever get AWAY from that annoyance and show her that Mama leaves when you pull that kind of BS.  After about the 3rd time you walk away from her,  she'll stop it.

    I agree with the PPs. LO did this with us and everyone except my dad ignored her. Now she does the shrill scream only around him because she gets a response from him. My mom, sister and I no longer have to listen to the shrill screams. It took maybe 1-2 weeks for LO to realize who responds and who doesn't. She was about 20 months when we went through this.
