| Does anyone else have a child that constantly screams...a happy scream? My 8 month old daughter says da da and occasionally a ma ma but half the time its a eardrum hurting scream! I know this is her way of communicating but is anyone else experiencing this? And will it stop? LOL... |

Hi Wendy,
Emilie does this too, I am trying to teach her not to scream. (no luck yet) I can remember being out with my friend and her son (he was about two at the time) and he started this in a dept store, I thought he got hurt. Apparently all kids do this, but i think at different ages. |

My son now 7 months squeals VERY loud. It actually hurts my ear when he does this. To discourage him, I try to ignore him, but it's hard not to react. He does it when he is really happy and excited.
It does seem to phase out and come back periodically. When he forgets, I'm relieved, yet when he does it again, I end up cringing. :)

| You can't teach them not to scream, they are unable to control volume in there voice until 2-3 years of age. At a very young age they discover there voice by yelling!!!! My best friend is a child speech development expert, she laughed when I told my 15 month old daughter to not scream when we were together!!!! She said good luck I got until she is at least 3 before it quiets down!!!!!!! |

| My son is almost 18 mos and he is screaming as well. He gets excited and has this high pitched scream, he laughs after he does it.I guess it is just there way of experimenting because they can |

| My litlle "angel" Gracie who is 14 months old screams all the time. I have almost become immune to it. I have found no magic cure yet. I just continue to encourage her to use her "words" or hand signals. Not that it helps much but I have faith that it will calm down in the next few months. (According to a few books that I have been reading) Between 15 and 18 months the vocabulary makes some great leaps and bounds. So lets hope I can belive everything I read aye. Good luck. Your not the only one. ; ) |

Ok Wndy you are not alone.
My almost 6 month old son does the same thing he will scream whenever he is happy and double scream whenever wants to tell me that he wants to be move from one place. like if he is bored and wants another position perphas walk or just change position he will scream. that is the way of communicating something. I have heard noises that he makes, bu the scream is defenetely his way of communicating. |

My daughter, who is now one used to scream a happy squeal around that age. It always seemed to occur when we were in public and she would see animals. It was just her way of saying that she was happy and excited. She did it all the time at first because it was new to her. About a month later she lowered her voice and started strecthing her arms out making a give me motion. It will probably die down when she finds something new she can do. |

| Your daughter is discovering her voice!! It's very exciting for her and she just wants to try to figure out what all she can do with it...which includes screaming. You can use this to help her learn by repeating the noises she is making. Don't scream back, of course, but by repeating after her you are validating the sounds she is making and helping her learn how to control the sounds. |
