[quote=Anonymous]Let him scream, don't give him the screen. How you opt to handle the screaming is waaaay less important than not giving in. The best parenting advice I ever got was "Pick your battles. Win every battle." Right now, you're literally training your kid to scream to get what he wants. You don't want him to have a screen? Then he doesn't get a screen. Period. Since you have taught him that, it's going to be a much harder road in the short term to show him that you will not give in. I'd recommend you tell your husband to work elsewhere for a week or two, it's going to be rough. And in generally, even once he's learned that screaming is ineffective, sometimes toddler's scream. If your husband can't handle that, he needs to find a different place to work. This isn't April 2020, he's got options. The library is a good one. [/quote]
