Hi my 16 month old daughter struggling with vocal things she does point at things she want sometimes but she also screams at things she wants and cries. How do i get her out of the screaming at things? Does anyone else experience this with their toddler? 🥺

We’re very much in a scream and point phase!

Aww how do you deal? Because it upsets me when she does it because i just want her to clam down and she doesn’t know how to use words but she will understand a lot

I just talk to him calmly and say things like ‘show mummy what you want’ or ‘oh it must be so frustrating not to be able to speak huh’.
I think a lot of it is bourne from frustration they know exactly what they want and what they think they’re trying to say and we just don’t understand - I know how frustrated I get when people aren’t listening to me 😂
It is tough though! The screaming goes right through me sometimes x

Thank you so much and it does go through me to x
