3 Year old screaming for everything

My 3 year old son will scream for everything when he is happy or sad when watching tv, out shopping at the supermarket. when my wife picks up my 5 year old daughter from school he scream if my wife talks to other parents. His speech is not very good and his words are limited can you help with what could be wrong ?

He is demanding attention, perhaps some jealousy of his sister ..ignore the screaming he gets attention that way so you and you wife are rewarding the negative behavior , reward good behavior, if he does it in the market take him outside, do not take him shopping unless you have to. If he gets no attention when he yells for something he will realise it doesnt work and 'hopefully' stop it. Good Luck
