Lately when we tell Chase no, or he is misbehaving, or we do something he doesn't like he shrieks at us at the top of his lungs. He still doesn't talk, only caveman. Which he does all the time. But lately all he will do is shriek at everything and anything. It is ear piercing. I'm getting so tired of it and I want to rip out all my hair! I never get to go out just me or just me and DH. I'm always home with bugman. I love my son to death dont get me wrong. But lately he has had this terrible attitude and temperament. It makes it so hard to enjoy to be around him. I dont know what to do.

I think a lot of frustration at this age comes from not being able to communicate effectivly. I know that for us a lot of her frustration shrieks have gone away the more she can tell us what she wants. Now she hardly does it at all...except if she cant use her words because she so mad. I have also found that if im short on patience...so is she. Try to get out alone soon...go get your nails done or something..i find just an hour alone helps a ton

The frustration probably comes from not being able to tell you how he feels or what he wants. We are experiencing the same with Christian right now. It breaks my heart to hear him try to "talk" but becuase we just found out he is tongue tied he can't. I know this is the reason for his anger, i would be angry too if i was trying to tell people i was thirsty and nobody would understand. We have to do a lot of elimination to get to what he wants. It's hard and i feel so upset for him. He is being referred to a speech therapist and we are putting him into 2 half sessions of nursery a week, hopefully these two together with us teaching him he will get there. Fingers crossed he won't need any operation but it looks like he may

Well, I didnt talk till later, and his father had some sort of problem where one side of his tongue was not developed enough or something? So he was in therapy to help him talk? And I had to be in speech therapy? I just hope Chase wont. But when we leave him at his friends house, he talks and says some words. But when he is back at home its just back to caveman and screams.

Em is going through this very thing lately. I can honestly say that when it comes to this same very thing we just try to understand what it is that she wants. If we know she is doing things for attention, and throwing fits just to be noticed then I do not react and give her the attention she wants. Her shrieks are ear piercing as well.

Poor Christian! How frustrating!! I think it has a lot do with the age...communication misunderstandings in addition to wanting what they want when they want it.
