Well in my day; we got slapped (or spanked) But I don't think you want to do that.

I assume the screaming comes along with the happy feet, flailing arms, jumping around, all those thing that are included in a tantrum. When my son was doing that I would march him into his room and tell him that if he was going to throw a tantrum then he was going to do it in his room, alone, and that he could come back out when he was done. Then I'd walk out and close the door (leaving it slightly open). Most of the time I ended up going back in there after a couple minutes or so, and help him to calm down. After he was done we would walk back out together and I'd explain to him why he wasn't getting his way, and if he started to throw his tantrum again then I told him to go back into his room. It stopped after the first few times doing that. Good luck! +++

Give her to an adoption agency!!!

My sister has two girls and when they were that age, she'd just let them scream. And when they were done and didn't get what they'd want, she'd look them straight in the eye and say "Now what does screaming get you?" And they'd tearfully say in their little girl voices, "Nothing." A few rounds of that and the problem was pretty much solved. Be consistent and don't take any nonsense.

It's just her age, the advice above is good, all you can do is make sure they are in a safe place away from hurling objects or harming themselves and let them ride it out, go back to them once they've calmed down, dry their tears, and tell them in a clear, calm voice that their behaviour was unacceptable and screaming will get them nowhere. Usually, there is a build up to that kind of tantrum and you can nip it in the bud if you get to them in time by trying to divert their attention. All kids are different though, some a cuddle will soothe and others will attack should you come closer than 3 feet towards them!!! Just persevere, at her age it's likely that she becomes fustrated as she is unable to communicate very well verbally, just imagine trying to tell a foreigner that you're unhappy, you can't understand them, they can't understand you and tension escalates!!!

my son is 3 and I find the best tantrum stoppers are sack-o-potatos and daddy-straight-jacket. sack-o-potatos is faster and lets you do stuff, but is probably a little less effective for long term teaching, for this you put the child over your shoulder holding them upside down by their legs. the daddy-straight-jacket (can also be mommy) can be done anywhere but I usualy do it on the couch... basicaly tie the child up in your arms and legs so they can not move. be careful of the head, when really mad they will club you with it so either don't let them get a back swing or make sure they can not get your face.. Both these punishments continue until the tantrum stops... YOU MUST NEVER LOSE!!!!! after the tantrum stops the child MUST talk to you about why they were being punished before they can do anything else... if they still won't listen to you after a couple minutes they go back in until they are ready to talk. once this is done show them all the love you have for them, you are not allowed to still be mad at them (though you should not have been mad to begin with, todlers will disobey and throw tantrums, but you are human) no matter what you do... above all, if you tell your child "no" you CAN NOT change your mind from their persistance. if you are gonna give in you must do so BEFORE you say no.

just leave em to it and soon they get bored and come sucking up to you... my 2 and a half year old does that...

stick to your guns...if you give in at any point it only sets you back that much further. The kid is only a year old...give it time and your methods will work. just be patient with the child.

I might sound too harsh, but do you want your child not to be spoiled rotten? Well... The occasional spank--just one, but mean it--works rather well. Acting like you're not listening. Telling her "STOP" with the best voice you can attempt to do. The tip here is to BE FIRM and not to let your guard down. You are the parent, she is the kid, period.

dont give in,she will give up as soon as she realises its not working

Ask her to do something and when you don't get your way with her, sit on the floor and scream and cry.

call nanny 911
