Hi,
we adopted 3 siblings about 18 months ago. All things considered it has gone relatively well and children seem settled. Our middle AS though is now 3 and half and seems to have gone back the screaming at the slightest thing. If he can’t have something he wants or has to wait or can’t put his shoe on ..... I’m convinced, along with his younger brother he had the loudest scream in the world! I know he will be emotionally younger and I try to be therapeutic when I can but I am finding it hard to know how to respond. He is one of 3 so I’m not always available as soon as he wants someone, his screaming can really get to me. Am I supposed to ignore, sit him on my knee, tell him to stop? I know all kids can scream but he can literally be up to 5 or 6 times a day! A lot is when he can’t get what he wants or I’ve taken something because he has just thrown it at his siblings. I don’t want to be making it worse but I’m finding it hard to deal with at times, any advice much appreciated,
Thanks
