How do you handle a catcher's histrionics?

Had a HS varsity catcher yesterday who didn't always agree with my ball/strike calls. More so than any other catcher when I've worked the plate, she was very demonstrative about her disagreement -- holding her glove in position after she "framed" the pitch for long moments, shrugging her shoulders, tossing her hands in the air, hollering at the pitcher and coach, "That's a good pitch!," etc. After a short while, her coaches started yapping also, just because she was a whiner (these complaints were almost exclusively on inside pitches which they couldn't possibly judge from their 90 degree angle from the dugout). What techniques do you recommend to handle this behavior?
