Virtually all parents have gone through some trouble in one of our children's tantrums. We know that controlling the situation is not easy when a child begins to scream, but it not only manifests itself in tantrums, but can intone a loud voice or scream when he wants to express his emotions.
With the age of 4-6 months the baby already begins to emit all its repertoire of soundsYou will begin to experiment with your own voice and will want to imitate adult sounds. We as educators also intend for babies at a young age to imitate some of our sounds and even the sounds of animals.
The reason for having to raise your voice
One of the reasons is that before they begin to speak they already want to modulate their voice, And the best way of trying is to listen to your voice and yelling. Already taking the skill of knowing how to sing, they know that is the best way to make a request or get what they want.
It is your best tool to be able to solve how to express your emotions, whether he is happy or angry. It will be your way of getting attention and if he is allowed to use his form of expression even when he begins to speak.
If you continue to use a high tone, yell and as a result force your voice it can lead to aphonia and ragged voices. This can occur in children when they are a little older and you have to be very careful with cold drinks and extreme climates, covering the neck.
How to teach a baby not to scream
The best technique that works is from an early age. When they are babies and they start to babble we should set our best example by using a calm voice. We can always speak to them in an appropriate tone and voice and accustom them to having to listen to us.
When the baby starts to raise his voice we can counter the moment by speaking to them in a low voice, With perseverance and time the child will lower his tone of voice, because they will always want to try to make the effort to listen to you.
You have to be very patient and this point is essential. Without patience there is an overflow of our emotions, it makes us angry and makes us yell at them too. Therefore, our calm way of controlling the situation will eventually make them think there is no need to yell.
Sometimes it's a matter of waiting a bit, maybe he has had a tantrum or an anger and knowing that it is nothing more than that, wait for it to vent. This is the typical situation of going to his screams and making him see that we are going to his rescue when he screams. If we wait for your anger to resolve itself, so you won't have to expect anything from us, or expect to attract attention in a capricious way.
If you are going to leave the house, try to cover all the needs of your baby so that you do not lack anything. Make sure you bring change clothes, water, that the diaper is clean, rested and not hungry, so you will not have to demand anything.
It is important to teach him that to ask for things you do not have to shout and above all he has to learn to listen to others. As he begins to use his own vocabulary words, the baby will have to start using them instead of using squeals to ask for things. It is essential to always have empathy with them and make them express their emotions. Try to establish a dialogue with them from an early age so that they try to express what they feel and do not try to vent with yelling.
