You give him a choice--he can either play and be happy and b with his friends/siblings/parents or he can scream and cry and be on time-out and alone.  If he continues to scream, put him on time-out.  It was his choice--and kids as young as 2 are capable of regulating their own behavior.

Answer 11

First find out WHY the child is screaming.  Is the child hurt?  In pain?  In need of attention?  If none of the above walk away and don't give into the screams because they are meant to get you to give in.  By ignoring him you are not giving him what he wants and he will get tired of screaming if it doesn't amount to anything.
