Here's what I did, and it ...Same EXACT problem! Here's what I did, and it actually worked. Tyler let out an ear piercing scream at the dinner table. Why? Oh, because he could, apparently. I said, "Wait buddy. That's an outside voice."<br /><br />So, I immediately took him out of his chair, we walked outside, and I told him to show me his outside voice. We screamed out there for a few moments, stepped inside, and did our inside voices. Out and in for about 5 minutes, then back to the dinner table.<br /><br />Whenever he starts to get too loud now, I tell him to use his inside voice, and we'll go practice his outside voice in just a bit. So far, so good, but don't think that I don't expect this to backfire at some point.Irrational Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701066159275266042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-30599901458834114292010-08-09T19:58:33.869-07:002010-08-09T19:58:33.869-07:00Ear plugs might help.
