Screeching 2yr old help!

[CormacksGirl]

I haven't posted in a while but I really need help before I loose it!

My two year old screeches, the only thing I can liken it too is a referees whistle, it is so high pitched. He does it when he's excited, or frustrated or if he's told no. I'm at my wit's end. I have tried the softly softly approach, distraction, I've shouted and even to my deep shame I've smacked the top of his leg and nothing works. My next move is phoning the health visitor. Please tell me this will pass or do you have any tips that will help? Thank you ladies!xxx

Hi!
My littlest who is now 3, went through a phase of doing this.
Usually in small public places! It'll pass. I found not giving it attention helps, takes the interest away from doing it, although I know it's super hard to do that.
Just know that I promise he won't be doing it forever!

I agree with pp, ignore it. My 2 year old used to do it and it drove me crazy! Now he does this deep grunting noise like he's about to kill you but at least it's not the screeching. x
