[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 579079, member: 84"] Both Brandon and Connor went through screaming stages. I'd say "crying" except that would be a terrible understatement.........it was downright screaming at the top of their lungs to the point where it echoed off my walls. It could have easily driven me over the edge if I'd let it. Instead, I'm well practiced at ignoring it after making sure their needs were met. There was no consoling them anyway, especially Connor. But at the end of those particular days, I was sure relieved when they went home. ugh Thankfully they've both stopped. I'm pretty sure it was due to lack of words in which to verbalize wants/desires whatever. Soon as both figured out Nana doesn't give in to screaming........and Nana doesn't stand waiting for a half hour while you speak gobbledy gook instead of real words trying to figure out what you want......they tried harder and started speaking better. Connor still has a very long way to go, but he's made much progress. Many times I've sat a inconsolable baby/toddler into their crib, calmly walked away, closed the door and taken at least a 15 min break when I've needed to. I taught my girls to do the same......there were plenty of times Nichole would had Aubrey off to me because she desperately needed a break from the crying. [/QUOTE]
