[QUOTE="Emily1, post: 1522060, member: 210623"] The only thing I can think of is it gets her attention at home. By trying to quiet her she's getting attention (but still not her parent which might be why she doesn't stop) I would go with responding very calmly and mellowly that screaming isn't accepted and then let her work it out by herself. If the other kids are coloring she can set at the dollhouse and scream. If she stops ask right away if she'd like to come play nicely, if she does anything but walk over or ask a polite question give your attention to the kids who are behaving. If that's the only way to get your attention she should start to catch on and give up the screaming gig. You should address it right away to the mother that she's not happy and updated on her progress. You don't want her to think her child is ignored all day and it will give her an chance to decide if there's another place she'll be happier staying. As long as she knows there's a problem she should understand that it can't go on and you'll have to work to help the child outgrow it. She can't expect that you'll simply cope with her behavior or that any school in the future will accept it either. Good luck [/QUOTE]
