DD who is 14 months has just discovered her ability to squeal....VERY VERY ear piercingly loud.
She does it mostly when she's frustrated or angry about something. It is driving my DH & I bonkers and we don't know what to do! We understand that at this age she's really wanting to do things herself and her cognitive ability isn't up their with her physical ability so it's frustrating. Totally understand that but is there any "scripts" and or things to do that will give her a clear message that squealing is an unacceptable way of expressing her frustration??
Please, help!
