[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started explaining to my kids around that age that screaming is the noise to use in case of emergency or kidnapping and I will drop everything to help. It’s not for fun or for frustration. It worked. [/quote] I did this too. Probably traumatized my kid but I finally told her that when she screams like that it means there’s an emergency and someone will call the police to make sure we’re OK. I explained that the police are there to help and to make sure there’s not a problem, and that they’ll have to talk to each of us separately to make sure everyone is feeling safe, and that it’s important she always tell the truth. She didn’t like the idea of being separated and interrogated so that nipped the screaming in the bud. ha. We’ve also read the boy who cried wolf a lot and discussed “faking” emergencies. I also tell her if there’s ever danger she can use her scream :)[/quote]
