Okay, so this is gonna be part two to my last sound ****. I'm asking for some mom advice But I'm splitting it up because the two topics really have nothing to do with each other So this is gonna be a part two and this question is How do I get my 10 month old to stop screaming at the top of his lungs? He screams for everything and I'm trying really hard to make sure I'm narrating everything making sure I'm trying to teach him words but he really just screams like he screams for milk. He screams to be picked up. He screams to go down. He screams to play like he is just screaming all the time, like super high pitched, like literally screaming at the top of his lungs. And we live in an apartment building and I'm super nervous that the neighbors are gonna hate us. Like we literally just moved in, so I don't want them to hate us already. I don't know. I want him to like express himself and I'm glad he's trying to communicate. I don't wanna like make him feel bad about it. I just wanna help him learn to use words because he's obviously just screaming because he doesn't know what else to do, you know? So how do you help with that? Do you guys have any other tips for how to get him to start using words? We even do sign language. I try to do signs, but still it's just screaming for everything.
No, I really don't have any good advice on how to get them to stop because my daughter is in that phase still where she'll just scream. I would say sign language is the thing that helped us the most.
At what age do you feel like she started to really understand the signs and do them back and like actually use it as a form of communication? because he's 10 months old and and he doesn't really do it, and I've always done the same signs over and over, but...
He doesn't really do them himself yet. I don't know. But sometimes I think he is, but then sometimes like I think he's just doing them randomly. I don't know. What age do you feel like she started actually communicating with you?
Honestly, I don't have any great advice about that because sometimes my daughter does the same thing she'll scream and then And if you tell her to stop showing her stuff, screw him. So yeah, I'm so sorry. I wish I could help you.
I am oh my God I feel like I never really deal with that but yeah I would suggest keep using the same language even now my 17 month old I even do science with him now and he catches on pretty quick but I have a key obviously too
And about the neighbors I don't think you should feel bad I have my sons bedroom next to another apartment that has a studio when I can hear stuff that he does but I mean kids are going to be kids you really have no control of it so don't feel bad
Yeah I'm definitely going to continue with the signs I really hope that helps as he gets older and just gonna keep at it because he doesn't really do them back yet so I'm not sure but I'm gonna keep at it and you're right it it just gives me anxiety still
I would still continue doing what you're doing just talk to him and talk him through it like if he's screaming for milk just be like do you want milk can I get you milk just I would just talk him through it eventually it'll go away
My middle son used to scream and yell all the time to but I eventually learned that he had like a speech issue and like a sound issue so it was hard for him to speak
So it was hard for him to speak and get his words out. So maybe you want to look into like getting his ears checked because sometimes it's just like a sound thing and they just can't understand it.
Because my son is only 10 months old, so I feel like at this age it's relatively normal and it's not really a concern but at what age did you discover that it was like something else going on and it wasn't just a screaming baby.
I'm at my question it would be like is it like a scream of like just getting attention or is it like a playful scream I don't know because my youngest actually both my kids did that but I made a game out of it unintentionally and just started kind of like Innoway screaming with them
Not matching there on volume so I would start off screaming with them in a way and then just kind of lower it and they tend to copy me so we ended up getting just kind of like an indoor like scream I guess you can say where it wasn't like super loud
And then once it became a game it was more controllable to where they were copying everything I was doing So if I would say like a la la la like they would try and mimic that and so that helped like with the less screaming Also, just like you said, you're already verbally communicating with them, like kind of giving...
I was just a consistent with telling him that he had to use inside voice and then talk to him and then ask him what he wants my one year-old doesn't use words yet but he does know how to communicate with us
