<p>Thanks Baia! Yes, it does hurt. Besides the ear splitting din, I think you hit the nail on the head. When I hear screaming like this, especially from kids, all my alarms go off. The first time it happened I ran outside to see what was happening, heart pounding. As I watched I could see nothing was wrong--she was having a great time. Now a month has gone by and when she comes shrieking into the yard I run away into the house and close the windows and doors.</p>

<p>I have never seen a parent out there. No adults at all that aren't walking their dogs. She is part of a small group of kids that play together. I don't know how the other kids put up with that constant shrieking, but they do. I used to watch them to see if the girl might be deaf, or have some kind of obvious disorder. She clearly doesn't.</p>
<p>I have decided to be happy outside when I can be, and let her have the rest of the day. There's really nothing else to do. The thing about kids is they grow and change rapidly. I hated that when it came to our son, but I'm looking forward to it for this little girl.</p>
<p>I've never met anyone who couldn't scream, that I knew of. Do you carry a whistle or something? When I was little I used to let loose with the short bursts of screams when I got surprised, or when something was especially funny, but I never felt moved to scream as a way of life. I'm very sure I irritated adults in other varied and different ways.</p>

<p>You have my sympathies, Joella. Children who scream at ear-damaging pitches are one of my pet peeves. It actually hurts.</p>
<p>Does this one have parents? Are they hearing-impaired (yet)? This could actually be a safety issue for the family. If something screech-worthy happens to this child, nobody will be able to tell the difference between the emergency and her normal communications. </p>

<p>When I was a child, I couldn't scream at all. I mean I was not able to produce that sound. I envied children who could do it. We don't have indiscriminate screamers in our family, so I don't know how they happen.
