I had a little one like this. It was random and whenever she didn't get her own way. I talked to her parents and had them toughen up on her. She never got her way when this happened (the screaming). If she wanted a toy and screamed, she got nothing, if she wanted goldfish at snack and screamed she got taken out of her highchair, if she wanted to be the first to go outside in the backyard and screamed she had to be last, if she wanted to sit in the front of the stroller and screamed she got put in the back etc etc......I always talked to her in a soft voice and showed her when other children asked nicely that they got what they wanted. Eventually she tried it one day (asking nicely) and I made a HUGE deal out of it, celebrated and told her "BRAVO" (she's french) hugged and kissed her and showed the other kids that she was asking nicely!!!!!! From then on she tried so hard to please me she started to ask nicely more and more........now she never screams. Took a solid couple of months though......good luck as it was tough on us and the kids!!!!
