[QUOTE="shad16_12, post: 254315, member: 6964"] Hi Linda... Have you tried any positive behaviour modifications? A reward system for not screaming for said amount of time...start off with a short period an hour then give her a token...like a marbel to put in jar. When she reaches a certain amount of marbles there's a reward. Something she likes to do like computer time or stickers...some little box with dollar store items that she can choose from. Or if you see a situation arise where shed normally lose it and she doesnt then she earns a reward. You also will have to replace the behaviour with acceptable ones. Let her know what is OK. She may hit a pillow...or color a piece of paper aggressively with a crayon. Run around the yard...Squeeze a stress ball. Whatever works for your home. The idea is to gradually increase the time in between rewards to eliminate or reduce the behaviour until you no longer need them. You could try to ignore the behaviour. Let her know that you will not pay any attention to her until it stops. Everyone has to do their best to pretend she's not even there...If she's doing it to get your attention, it should work. If she's sreaming because its doing something for her then you will have to give her alternatives because the behaviour is giving her the reward...whether you give her attention or not...may not matter to her at the time. sonja [/QUOTE]
