One of the most difficult parts of being is handling the screams of child. The babies from the very first day when they are born start crying, screaming and shouting for variety of reasons which gets on parents’ nerves. First of it is really hard to understand why the baby screams or cries out especially when the child does not speak yet. You have sit and guess why the child is crying and it is not so easy to understand you know. The other thing is that it is really difficult to hear screams all day and night. They become nervous and get irritated too early. Technically, the child is not guilty that he cries or screams but parents they all get mad on their children. You have to understand, however, that if the child screams then it is a signal that not everything is fine with the child. If the child is hungry, thirsty or just want to sleep, then it is absolutely okay, the child tries to make some hints for you in order to make you understand what he or she want. If the child is just screaming nearly always and the child is not new born one, and around one year old, then you have to think preciously what to do and how to deal with it. If you want to deal with the screams of your child, first of all you need to understand why the child screams. Finding out the reason will help you to overcome the problem.
- One year old child can scream because he or she seeks your attention. This can happen if you do not pay much attention to the child and do not play with him, he can make deliberate screams in order to keep himself in your spotlight and draw your attention. In this case you can easily deal with the screams of your child, with just paying enough attention to him and making some fun stories, playing fun games etc.
- Another way to stop your child scream is to look directly in his eyes and communicate face to face. Do not yell at child. I am sure you have tried to do this many times, but it did not help at all. Moreover, it even made the situation worse. You just have to stop yelling and screaming and just look deep in eyes. This is how the child will be curious, why you did not shout, will become serious and stop yelling.
- Be more positive and optimistic with you one year old child. This really helps just because you child is one year old, he needs lots of positive atmosphere and energy. So surround your child with positive energy and have smile on your face. Talk to the child in nicer way and in lower tone. This will help to stop him or her yell.
- Talk to your child and try to understand why he or she yells. Overall, the child is able to communicate, if he is one year old. Even if the child does not talk yet, I am sure he or she has got own ways how to make you understand everything. So talk to your child, ask him or her why he yells and most probably you will get the answer somehow.
- However, if the child is not responding somehow and you cannot understand the reason of him screaming and yelling the whole day long, then it is a matter of worries. You have to take your child to doctor and let doctors observe them carefully. The child may be suffering lots of things, such as toothache and even more serious things. SO be careful with the cries of your child.
If you follow all the things listed above then be sure that you will be able to handle and to deal with your one year old child screaming. I know it is a very hard thing to do, do witness how you child who is not even newly born, but one year old already screams, but be brave to face the problems, to find the reasons and then find some rational ways how to solve the problems. Usually it is quite normal that children scream, but when the one year old child is screaming whole day long, then really take care of the child preciously and pay attention to everything.
One thing you should keep in mind is that you should not respond a scream by scream that is not a solution.
