My 5-year-old is constantly yelling. I am at my wits end. I just had a baby a few days ago and my 5 son is just so loud. He had his ears checked so I know nothing is wrong with him, but he even talks super loud. Advice?

I mean, hes 5 and probably bored.
My year old is superior, just talks loud. Her hearing is fine as well. She just doesnāt quite get inside voices. Thankfully my newborn can sleep through it. Must have gotten used to it in the womb lol.

the baby will eventually get use to it, my family was super loud and i just had my baby so i was over it but eventually she slept through any loud noise which turned out to be a blessing
Its normal, hes a boy and hes 5, I have a 4 year old foghorn mouthš Give him something to do when baby is sleeping that he has to concentrate on, painting/ crayoning or something.

My 6yo old son is like a fog horn
My 3.5 year old daughter seems like sheās ALWAYS yelling! She has no volume control whatsoever
We introduced the concept of inside/outside voices. You need to be really consistent, but my son eventually got the message. He wonāt be perfect, but should be better. Doesnāt last forever-thereās an end in sight!
My 5 year old is also loud naturally. He knows inside outside voices, he doesnāt scream (unless it is something we are doing that involves screaming) he just naturally talks loud 
I am pregnant with my 3rd. I had my second and never hushed my oldest because I wanted baby to get used to the noise his big sister still needed to be a kid. I have the same plans this time around. Babies adjust but older kids will resent baby if they are getting in trouble for being themselves because of baby.

All my kids talk so loud!! I tease and say they need to use their Daddyās sleeping voice!
It sounds like he is rebeling about the new baby. But you are the one that needs to stop this now. Lay down rules with consequences if not followed and stick to them. And whatever you do donāt yell at him.He is old enough to know itās wrong and you need to lead by example.
I understand your frustration. But heās 5. Loud is developmentally correct. Practice voice levels. 0 being silent, 5 being concert level. Give him some kind of token for his voice being the appropriate level (a sticker, play money etc) that he can exchange for prizes or treats.

Check your volumeā¦ when he gets loud are you getting louder or are you bringing your voice to a whisper/quiet indoor voice? If you get loud, heās just going to get louder (same with tv volumes etc.)
Additionally you can do some play work on inside and outside voices. Example: walk outside and say in a loud voice āoutside we can be loudā. Walk back inside and say in a quiet voice āinside voices are quiet voicesā. Repeat a few times then ask him to show you his outside voice and inside voice a bunch of times (yes you might end up with the door open a lot to outside but the idea is to demonstrate and practice the skill. Once heās got it, a simple āinside voiceā reminder should help check him back into a decent level.
My daughter, soon 8 is loud too. We tried inside voice but she still loud.
Omgā¦my 5 year old is loud toā¦maybe itās just a age thingā¦I hopeā¦shes had her hearing checked alsoš¤·āāļø

I played āwhisper gamesā with my loud children rewarding them for speaking quietly with a star chart. The kids loved the game picked the bedtime story or got to stay up an extra 15 minutes after the others.

Your kid is just being jealous and annoying, spend more time with your kid and explain to them why they have to be quiet
I would suggest talking to him quietly. Telling him we use inside voices.
My 3 year old is the same way. Sheās the baby of 4, so she gets all the attention anyway, lol. I have her an appointment with an audiologist soon just to be safe.
My 11 year is deaf his so friggin loud especially if his not wearing his hearing aid my 6 year old is also super loud and his hearing is fine 
My 5yo is extremely loud (he is Autistic) and we are constantly repeating to use a quiet voice. He is loud and has absolutely no filter.
You will need to work with him to change that. It is going to take time and a lot of repitition. Everytime he speaks loudly tell him that he needs to talk quieter. Have him start over with his quiet voice. It will take a lot of practice on his part and patience on yours.

Quiet game, and volume control game. When hes too loud have him speak softer and softer till he whispers. If he can whisper so soft you almost cant hear he gets a prize
Shhhhā¦ use your Inside voice. Might want your attention with the new baby.
I honestly think its just some kids are loud 
try to show him that theres places and times to be super loud and other times to be quiet (like the library etc) but having him be quiet all the time or use a ālittle voiceā all the time just isnāt gonna happen.
When I had my youngest I tried and tried and tried to tell my middle son to use his quiet voice when my youngest was just born and yeah no 
its like talking to a wall. So, I qould suggest allowing him a place to be as loud as he wants so he can let it all out.
My baby got used to it though and slept through absolutely everything. Now hes just as wild and loud as his big brother

Maybe stop and think that uve just had a baby and u may be emotional right now? Hormones are high, lack of sleep? 2 kids? Everythingās just getting to u? Please try not to be too hard on him. He is 5 and he is used to the way of living for 5 years with out a new baby. If he wasnt loud before then maybe just take a step back and think why? A new baby in the house can affect children alot. Please be patient. Work with him and explain what u say is wrong and why it is wrong.

I would give him a yelling hour. Make special time for loud voices and work on him with his quiet voice. If he doesnāt seem to connect the fact that the baby needs quiet time, get him involved and have hime help. Involve him and explain to him how the babies ears are sensitive and how itās less startling using a calming voice.

Try using āindoorā voices and āoutdoorā voices. I also find that talking back in a very quiet voice can work, as they try to mimic the situation

I donāt know but donāt listen to the people saying āheās 5ā because I have a 2 year old that knows that when baby brother is sleeping he has to be quiet. definitely just let him know times that heās allowed to be loud and times he needs to be quiet as in when baby is sleeping we have to be quiet. When weāre outside we can be loud.

Whatever you do, just ask them nicely to be quiet. Constantly shhhhing and getting angry or irritated will make them feel bad.

Tell him to whisper my 12 is like that its annoying
You need to whisper! Lol If you whisper he will whisper. I do it with my 3 yr old
Mine is loud. My husbandās whole side of the family is loud. I have auditory sensitivity. I find that if I whisper to her, she whispers back and asks why Iām whispering. I say the dog is sleeping (he almost always is) I also keep tvs and phones at lower volumes, so you donāt have to āyellā over the noise. Work 1/2 the time.

I have a 5 year old, when he talks loud to me or cries āfakeā I tell him wait wait wait, my turn, then I talk or cry the same way back and he laughs, we laugh together, then start the conversation over and remind him of indoor voice

The baby will get used to it. Somethings you just canāt change.
Baby needs to get used to constant noise.
Eh, I think at that age kids are just loud in general. We do encourage going outside to be loud and trying to bring the noise down about an hour before bedtime, but other than that our 4 year old is just kind of loud in general. His baby sister learned that our house is loud so she sleeps through everything now at 15 months and is also loud during the day. We donāt allow loud to be disrespectful, like shouting at us/his sister, but if heās just playing or talking I donāt even really notice it anymore we do also do āquiet timeā for him so while sister naps he can lay and watch a movie/play on his tablet quietly since he doesnāt take naps anymore.
I gave mine a taste of their own medicine after a couple days they stopped

I have a 6yr old and a 3month old(8weeks early so technically 4weeks gestation) my daughter is just a very loud person. She talks loud plays loud. Itās going to take time but if you just keep telling him to stay quiet the babys sleeping. Or use your indoor voice each time it will help. Make sure to give him a little just mommy time each day even if itās just for a half hr when baby is sleeping. I do this with my daughter and it seems to help. Bedtime is our time and every other night we watch a movie together While baby is sleeping. Time it between feedings. Eventually your baby will grow to get use to the loudness. Mine slowly is but until then weāve started sending her to her room when she wakes sissy up since shes been home long enough to know better. Otherwise we just remind her to stay quiet. Itās a big adjustment on them not being the baby anymore.
Mine is 8 and still be loud and yells. No matter what I tried. Lol.
Honestly, it being loud will be good for baby. The house I lived in was always loud no matter what. When I had my son. Now he sleeps through anything and loud sounds donāt wake him up.

Babies get used to it. I had 2 10.5 months apart, when my son was a newborn my 10 month old girl had just found her voice and would squeal top note constantly. I just let her go and now at 6 months my son sleeps through most noises
Some people are born loud and donāt change. I have 3 sonās and my first has always been loud even now at 23
He might just want your attention since thereās a new baby in the house. Maybe explain to him the importance of being calm and maybe carve out some time for just you and him to be loud and spend time together
My six year old is super loud too, she always has been and Iām guessing she always will be.
If I use my quiet voice and have the rest of the house quiet, my kid will do the same. If I start whispering, she will speak softly too. However she is an only child. All children are different.
I donāt ask my older to quiet down unless the baby is napping. He isnāt allowed to scream, but that rule hasnāt changed, he doesnāt need to be shrieking in the house 
he understands when his little bro goes to sleep he is allowed to play downstairs if he is quiet or I set him up a outdoor play area and he goes out there to play until baby wakes up. I just have him go to a fun space or participate in quiet time (book, lay down, quiet puzzle). It was a learning curve for a few weeks, but he is awesome about it now. He will grab a blanket and lay down or he runs outside/to his room upstairs to play when the baby falls asleep.
My 3 year old is very loud. She just gets excited. I am also a loud talker when I am excited. So I try and talk quietly to her. And we talk about inside voices a lot. I think kids just find a volume and stick with it.
My son is 7 about to be 8 with ADHD and I have a 9 week old baby girl. Heās constantly loud yelling, screaming, fake crying, banging on the leather sofa, running around the house etcā¦ i was worried the new baby wasnāt going to sleep or anything but she got used to him and my husband plays the drums she can take a nap thru all her brothers noise and her daddys drumming practiceā¦ you will be just fine and your child will learn sooner or laterā¦ itās an adjustment to everyone in the familyā¦ you can do this be strong everything will be ok.
I have a daughter who is a teacher and has a daughter herself is loud. Her father is loud to. She is 4 and she tells her to use hr indoor voice. That seems to work
My son is 9 and he is loudā¦ always has been. I remind him to āturn the volume downā , but heās just a loud talker

With my 7 year old I had to talk with him about in and out side voices. I had a baby 4 months ago and things have gotten better. I remind him in the morning about the baby. I also explained that when heās being loud that it really really hurts her ears. That if we donāt use our inside voice we could hurt her ears so bad that she wonāt be able to hear us anymore. Babies ears are sensitive and can bust easier than his ears. It has worked so far. Not to mention I let him spend āquiet timeā with her daily to help him remember she is much smaller and needs āquiet time.ā
My daughter is goin on 8 & still very loud ā even talking. Iāve just accepted that itās her 
one day maybe that loud mouth will get her somewhere
Heyā¦ nothing wrong with loud kids. Lol.
~Signed Now a loud adult. Lol
Remind him to use his inside voice. My kids can be loud and run outside, but inside we use inside voices, and inside feet.
I think itās normalā¦my son is almost 7 and is super loud too. I have to constantly remind him he doesnāt need to tell when we talk
My daughter is 4 & she is the same way. We just remind her to use her inside voiceā¦
There is a book called little tiger 
is loud. Teaches them inside voices
My 9 year old is the same way. I tell her inside voice it works for 2 seconds and back to yelling.
Yes, some children get excited about a new found loudness. They learn they have a voice louder than before and use it. Also, if you play tv or sound loud in your house or even find yourself talking loudly with other people your child will copy it.
Could be simple as to her hearing herself.
Iāve trained my 5 and 3 year old grandsons to be quiet if Iāve got a mug of coffee. If one forgets the other one reminds him. I just said itās the rule in my home. If they get too noisy I hold up my mug (even if itās empty) and ask what it means and they both whisper āthat we have to be quietā. My daughter has started using it at her place. Keeps them quiet for a bit lol

Mine has no volume control either. Try to make clear consistent rules, and honestly, itās better for a baby to get use to loud noises and sleep through it. It makes life SO much easier with multiples. Still good to teach the older ones respect and kindness to TRY and be quiet, but sometimes itās hard. Every kid is different.
