[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 599984, member: 3419"] Yep. There is something wrong. And once you get the diagnosis, it will help. Clearly, she has communication issues, and clearly, a short fuse. Of course, it's all *your* fault if she can't communicate. :) One of the reasons our kids yell is that they are frustrated. Another reason is that they don't *hear* themselves yelling. Another reason is that once they are ramped up, they don't have the skills to calm down again. When my son did that -- screaming at me because I was ordering the wrong thing -- I often walked (or drove) away and he got nothing. Sometimes, I would deliberately place an order for something that *I* wanted. Then I would tell him that he could eat it or not, but he had no choice of any other food. That way, if he was still ranting and kicking, I'd get to eat. :) And if he calmed down, he could eat something different, which forced him to transition to a new food, and also got his blood sugar back up (most of our kids can't self regulate and have no idea if they are even hungry or not). A win-win situation. (I don't eat much fast food so when I do, it's not fried, and there's no skin on the chicken, and I don't do buns, for ex... rough for a kid who loves junk.) [/QUOTE]
