Dear Sara,
My nine month old daughter has
started squealing. When she wants
something or just wants to make
noise, she lets out a high pitched
squeal that will just about knock
your socks off. You can see people
cringe when we take her out. How
can I get her to stop this?
Ken
Dear Ken,
I am sorry to say, it will be difficult to
get your daughter to stop squealing.
She has learned that this is a good
way to get your attention and get
what she wants. She apparently also
likes the sound of her own voice.
You can try speaking very softly to her
and turning away from her when she
squeals. (If you try to shush her this
is giving her attention). This might
work as babies really like for their
parents to interact with them. Don’t
ignore her at other times though, just
pay more attention to her when she
makes noises that you like.
The good thing is that she will grow
out of trying to get attention by
squealing. The bad part is that it
could take a couple of years. She has
found out that she can manipulate her
world by squealing and is also
enjoying herself, so she may not be
willing to give it up.
