DS is 16 months. Lately he has discovered that he can scream...the high pitched squeally type scream. I've been trying to figure out what brings it on and I think it usually is that he has become excited about something. But other times, it's for no apparent reason. Telling him shhh, no screaming, ignoring, and trying to give him a different behavior (ex: telling him to say wow instead of screaming) aren't helping. None of my other kids were like this, so I'm at a loss. I know it's normal for kids to find their voice and all, but this needs to calm down. What else can I try?
