How to Get a Child to Stop Yelling
Children are usually great sources of joy and delight for their parents. However, there are few things more annoying in life than kids screaming at the top of their lungs over a petty matter, generally for something that they want.
This sort of behaviour is unacceptable and intolerable, and there is a need to correct it. It is obviously not a simple task as the kids will not understand your commands immediately, and will do everything possible to get things their way. Make sure that you address the issue before it gets out of hand.

1
Measured Response
There are no points for reacting and going crazy in the same manner. In fact, that will help the child’s cause more than yours. Never react in a harsh manner and maintain your composure. Although spanking the child at this point may seem like a great option, it is best if you avoid it as much as possible. -
2
Stare
A good stare is often underrated. Give them a tough stare to let them know that you are not pleased with the situation. Kids can read expressions like anyone else and they should quickly understand what you want to convey to them. Use this tool carefully and you should get great results. -
3
Do Not Ignore
Some experts believe that ignoring the child altogether is not as useful in such a situation as is generally believed. Respond to the child keeping your calm and maintaining your original stance of not giving in. The child will soon understand that you will have your way no matter how much he or she yells and screams. -
4
Ask for Words
When a child is screaming, there is a loud sound and often no words are uttered. Ask the child to speak and tell him or her that you do not understand what the yelling means. This will force the child to stop yelling and explain the reason behind his or her actions. -

General Training
The best time to tackle the issue is when the child is acting normal. Instill good qualities in the child and make him or her understand the importance of respect and the right way of asking for things from parents. Also help them develop good communication skills so that they understand the importance of words rather than screaming.
