[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My third kid is almost three and screams. So much screaming. Older siblings got down the stairs faster? Screaming freak out that she’s going to be left behind. No milk in her Cheerios yet (because I’m literally opening the fridge to get it)? Screaming. Sometimes we can’t understand what she’s saying because she’s screaming so incoherently, sometimes we can tell and try to explain that she can have what she wants when she can ask in a nice voice... And when she’s not screaming chances are she’s whining. Despite us being mostly consistent about pretending not to understand a whiny voice.

She’s always been like this. She’s actually way way better than she was at 18 months, when she would spend probably an hour a day in shrieking tantrums on the floor — being able to understand us and to make herself understood definitely help. It doesn’t seem to be sleep deprivation. She’s a cheerful, sweet, funny little person when she’s not absolutely losing her sh*t. Her pediatrician says there’s no medical cause, it’s behavioral/temperamental (she was a fussy baby too), but it’s driving me insane.

Please help. [/quote]

I would see someone.  This doesn't seem quite right.  [/quote]

Who would you see? She has a 3yo checkup coming up so I can ask for a referral. [/quote]
