Video insights

@drdeborahparenting's TikTok video "When a toddler screams, "Give me that!" and throws themselves onto the floor in the middle of a store, most parents immediately say, "Stop yelling!" "Get up right now!" Or they eventually give the child the item just to stop the screaming. Now the child learns screaming is working, so they have a reason to keep doing it. More attention, more conversation, and sometimes faster access to the item. Here's what to do instead. Before you enter the store, explain the rule once: "If you want something, ask me. If you scream, the answer is no." The second they scream, say one sentence: "The answer is no because you screamed." Then stop talking. No lecture, no explaining. The answer does not change because they scream louder, cry harder, or repeat, "Give me that!" The answer is still no. When they're ready to ask calmly, they get an answer. Calm requests get answered. Screaming does not. When the cost of screaming is losing immediate access, asking calmly becomes the more effective strategy. That's when the system installs.
