My sweet little girl just turned 16 months old.  She is very smart and knows what she wants the problem is, she don’t know how to say it yet.   so instead of saying it she screams at the top of her lungs.  It is a good thing I don’t own fine china, it would be shattered on my dinning room floor.  Our ear drums can attest to that.   I know she must be frustrated.

Have you gone through this stage?  We have and with all stages my advice is to be patient, but while your being patient say the names of items she is pointing at.  Doing this helps in many ways.  It puts a face to the name and she gets to see you saying it.  Listen… I notice she making sounds similar to what she is trying to say.

Have any other advice, we would love to hear it.
