Anyone else have a screamer? I am just about at my wits end with L. She is almost 18 months and only says a handful of words and has a handful of signs. Her response to just about everything that doesn't go her way is a non stop ear piercing scream. Most of the time, I can help her with the source of frustration like not being able to get her shoes on and off etc. but where I am at a total loss is in the car! The poor thing has to be in the car A LOT with carpools, errands and activities. I've eliminated any sources of frustration that I can (don't put her in the car with shoes on). The problem is she just screams in general in the car. A LOT! I try to limit having to drag her around whenever possible but that isn't much. She will start in a Mom's Day Out it 2 weeks (thank you!) and I know it will help a lot as she won't have to do the midday carpool but other than that I am at a loss as to what to do to get past this phase! I've never had a screamer like this in all my years....

Is not what she wants. The only thing we've found to help is to feed her either directly before or during the ride. Liquids are a no no because she'll have an accident.
Her newest is "NO, MOMMY, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" quickly followed by "OW! OW! OWWWWWWWW!!!!" Even when you're no where near her. It's. So. Fun.
I'm sorry you have a screamer. It's so exhausting. I feel like we're just starting to come into using logic to try to help the situation. Before now it was all distraction, activity, and soothing as best as possible. I assume it won't last forever... right?
