(41,961 posts)I'm not going to give advice because I don't know your child, but here are important questions:
Does this happen often?
Do particular kinds of things (sudden changes, frustration, exhaustion, etc.) trigger the screaming?
When she is not in the middle of a fit, can she reflect on what was going on and tell you what it was like?
Can she be diverted by a big enough distraction or is she so far into it that nothing gets through?
How does it end? Does she wear out, does she get her way, etc.?
And quite a few more.
Each child is wired differently and manages to regulate emotions in a way unique to them. It's an acquired skill, part natural talent and part helped along by the way the parents respond. There's lots of variety. But before any action is advised lots of questions need to be asked.
