Shrieking

DD likes to shriek a lot. Especially in the mornings. I try to be patient and get down to her level and whisper, no screaming, or something like that, I've tried saying it in a firm tone. Redirection is not always possible because she often does it when we're doing something that has to be done right then, like getting her dressed in the morning or when I'm wiping her face. Sometimes she shrieks near her high chair when she wants to eat. I'm struggling with the best way to teach her patience, because I am only one person and there many times, like pretty much all the time, when she just have to wait. But lots of times I just want the shrieking to stop so I'm probably reinforcing the behavior.

    My LO used to also shriek a lot, but she has gotten better recently. I would try my best to finish doing whatever I was doing calmly, and not rush so she would understand that shrieking wouldn't change a thing. I don't have any other advice, except to take a deep breath when it happens and try to stay calm.

    Thats a hard one. I just say give me two minutes over and over but it doesnt stop it. I dont think anything but duct tape will work really. Its just their way of getting your attention.

    Dagny has started this but it's at random times - like not when she's waiting for something but just when she's running around. I tell her that she doesn't need to scream and to use a quieter voice but I don't really think she understands. I think she is just testing/using her voice. That may be part of what K is doing to.
