Never reward screaming. Children scream because they have been rewarded for their behavior (screaming) in the past. Most kids will stop screaming when they get what they want. If you stop giving in to them and stand firm, your children will eventually stop their screaming bouts once they realize it's getting them no where.

Avoid your kids when they scream. Another reason kids scream is to get attention. Again, if you give in to what they want, all your doing is teaching them that screaming equals more attention from mom and dad. Instead, at the first scream, completely ignore them and leave them in a room all by themselves to scream as loud and as long as they want. When they realize that no one is listening, they will normally stop screaming.

Take away privileges when your child screams. For instance, if your child is screaming say "if you don't stop screaming by the time I get to 5, no TV for the rest of the day. However, in order for this method to work, you have to stick to your convictions. If you said no TV, that's mean's no TV no matter how good their behavior is the rest of the day. If your kids figure out that they can get things back later by behaving good, they will be more likely to scream if they don't get their way in the first place.

@Jamie, I don't feel that that's so much against the grain because you responded in a loving manner and you explained to her what you needed from her and what you expected. It's the completely ignoring advice that I have an issue with and it doesn't sound like that's what you did.

I am going to go against the grain here. My kids are now 12 and 10. My daughter started down the path of screaming. I nipped it in the bud pretty quickly. I would look her in the face, say in a very calm voice, " I love you, but I will not allow you to act this way. I am putting you on your bed until you can calm down." Then I would take her to her bed, set her there and go about what I was doing. It took about half a dozen times, and she stopped screaming at me. She was 4.
