This is a great idea to talk to her after; I honestly was of the mindset not to give much attention to it all (it seemed to escalate things); I just ask her if she is ready to join is and leave it at that.

Update: K...sat her down and in a very soothing voice explained that it's okay to be sad when Mommy leaves and crying is ok. She can go into the tent and cuddle Tommy Teddy when ever she feels sad. But when she uses a loud voice to cry it makes Mommy and all of us sad and it hurts our ears.
Her Response: Loud screaming tantrum again....arrggghh. One thing these little guys have taught me is that maybe the first (or 5th or 10th) time may not work but have patience and "just keep swimming"
