Probably a dumb question - re: yelling

When does the yelling stop???  N will just yell sometimes and I can tell it's a frustrated yell - like tonight at dinner.  He was in his chair and just yelling and crying and I could not for the life of me figure out why.  He had the same food I had but he kept holding his arms out like he wanted something and I still have no idea what he wanted.  Or earlier today when I had to deal with something for work so I put him in baby jail for a few minutes.  He was not 3 feet from me and just yelling his head off.  I'm sure he just wanted my attention.

He'll stop that when he can talk, right?  RIGHT??  It's just that yelling is his only way to communicate, yes?  I really hope that it's not just his personality Tongue Tied

    When he's 3. That's when their language really takes off and they have more patience and more ability to put their wants and emotions into words. We have many more months of this.

    You are right, it will stop when the talking starts, unfortunately, talking varies greatly from child to child.  DD1 was talking up a storm by the time she was 2, DD2 (just turned 2) and she is still pointing/grunting/screaming for what she wants, she just isn't there yet.  If you are interested in teaching N to sign, it might eliminate a little of the screaming, but ultimately the screaming will end when he can effectively communicate what he wants to you.  Until then you might want to invest in some ear plugs!

    I was wondering the same thing. Avery doesn't cry when she is yelling but she does think it's funny to yell.

    Well at least there is hopefully an end in sight!  I have started doing some signing for him and while he recognizes the milk sign, I think that's the only one and he's definitely not signing himself yet.  I will keep at it though.

    I finding that Sophia's attention span and patience for the high chair is limited to 15 minutes tops anymore and then she wants out which she signals by raising her hands and reaching for me.  I don't give in immediately and that cues the yelling.

    You may think this is ridiculous but I swear it works:  She starts yelling and I say "Shh, inside voice" softly and quietly and I swear she drops her volume significantly for a minute or two.  It's actually kind of funny.  If I have to repeat myself a few times to keep the volume down and finish my dinner I'll do it.
