My 6 mo has learnt screaming and the volume is next level for crying as well. How do you handle this? Is this normal?

Years, I think... If I make it that far without going crazy. My oldest is 12 and hasnā€™t let up yet.

A lot of patience and staying calm and collected. Acknowledge their frustrations and give them some time/space. I tell my son when he gets excited and speaks very loudly to use indoor voice and ā€œnot so loudā€ calmly and he gets it... when he starts screaming itā€™s because he doesnā€™t get something his way. I tell him I love him and know heā€™s frustrated or upset, etc (depending on whatā€™s going on) and that he should take his time but that Iā€™m here for him and when heā€™s ready, we can talk. I offer hugs, or try to distract with another activity (eg reading a book or playing a board game, or whatever seems appropriate to deā€”escalate)... it works for me most of the time... if it doesnā€™t, I tell him he can scream as long as he wants in his room and I offer to carry him or walk him there, etc. šŸ˜€

Totally normal...voice modulation (I think it is called). If they are just yelling for fun...yell back. šŸ˜
