Finding out the reason
Why is your child screaming? There are usually 4 reasons why.
1. Wanting something from you
2. Desire to escape
3. Attention seeking
4. Sensory related
Which one is it? Find out why and you’ll know exactly NOT to do. You should not give in and let them get what they want.
Can you find a replacement behaviour for these reasons? Usually, speaking and communicating can be the best replacement you can teach. Whereas for sensory seeking, you should find a different outlet for the child to get what s/he needs. An idea would be singing instead of screaming.
Rewarding the opposite behaviour
The importance of rewarding the absence of behaviour is often overlooked. That means when a child isn’t doing something, you should actually praise and reward that. One thing we did with a child who screamed randomly was that we gave him a piece of biscuit whenever he was quiet. This worked well because now he knew all he had to do was to stay quiet.
Punishing undesirable behaviour
Sometimes we have to take up a notch to change behaviour. When we say punishment, it doesn't mean to hit, scold or time out a child. You should remove something pleasurable. For example, if your child is playing with toys, the instant that the child screams, you should remove the toys (rewards). This is often a good way to teach children how to avoid getting things they love taken away.
