Re: How do I get them to stop?
Hmm... whatever works for you I guess.
Personally, I don't see how allowing the bad behavior at all is helpful in teaching them the correct way to be. If my child screamed like that (oh.. and they have!), they would get one nice but firm comment. If they scream again - time out (which is sitting face into the corner - no talking no moving). I leave them there for a few minutes, then go and talk to them. If they are not ready to speak nicely about the situation, I leave and come back in five more minutes.
I will not engage in a shouting match or argue with my children.
