Stop help: My one year old son developed this bad habbit. - Help.com

I know he’s one but you should ignore him! Sometimes is good to ignore them. If and when he screams like that, he will relate that with the attention you give him and he will do it all the time. You could also give him reward stickers when he behaves well and he does not scream!

actually… being so young… a child doesnt understand why its wrong to scream like that…

as a parent and a person who did daycare for 8 years… i suggest this…

time out works well.. and no.. its not to discipline him for being naughty.. its a way of showing him that what he is doing is not really good…

but as you are sitting him there… explain why he is sitting… and then when he gets up.. explain again why he sat there…

again.. he is young.. and doesnt understand why he is being sat in time out or that by yelling its not good.. so explain everything to him… of why not to do it.. why it is not good.. and why he is sitting for a time out…

this also works on everything else a child will do while growing…

my kids are now teenagers and i actually had people come up to me in the stores and tell me how respectful my children are.. and i never ever hit my children..

also… the age of your child is the time limit for doing time out.. if he is one.. he does one minute of time out… if he is ten.. he does ten minutes of time out..

Yes, it seems at this age (mine are 3) they do not always have a sense of their own volume.

It is also true that reacting by leaving or cringing might cause him to yell more often, because he might start to think it is cute to make you react by yelling….Just staying the course an calmly answering can help him see that he does not need to yell.

Shie does have a point, though, if he is doing it as a means of misbehaving, timeouts work well.

I agree. I think if you give him any attention when he is doing this, he will continue to do it. You have to totally ignore him. And only respond to him when he say mom or dad in a normal volume. Then he will see if he wants your attention, he has to use a lower volume of voice. And get excited when he uses the lower volume. Let him know how much you like it.

You could do what I did and make things a game, kids often react better if its fun, my son went through a stage where he’d shout for toys, Id answer him, but he’d still shout. Try saying we’re going to play a game, if you can whisper mummys name Ill answer, but if you yell at me I wont. At least if you get her to whisper it, it wont be so embarrassing for you, and less annoying for the other customers.
Failing that leave him at home with Auntie jeanie lol

I am thinking in the store he probably likes the sound of his loud voice. It is different then at home. He is exploring sound. Like Sasha said, try and get him to explore to sound of a whisper.

Earplugs work real well “wink” lol

Yes I totally am gonna try the ignoring but I’ll do it at home first home is where we get most of the ruccus. Daddy ignores him but I’m too weak for that but worth a try.

DONT FORGET… you and dad have to stick together and not give in… because if he sees that one of you give in.. it isnt going to solve anything..

dont forget.. it isnt going to work just like that.. it will take about a week.. but you have to be persistant.. just like training a puppy not to pee in the house… lol..

also.. if you find it doesnt work.. (usually does) taking something away for an hour will show him you mean business as well.
