[quote=Anonymous]My DD is 7 and she cries about everything, including some stuff that I considered ok to cry over at age 3 but at 7 is abnormal. Examples: saying she can’t have sweets for breakfast, telling her to brush teeth, can’t find the clothes she wants. She also loses it when she has to make a simple decision like what to eat for breakfast. She cries when asked to do anything she doesn’t want to do. And lately she has been crying in front of the neighborhood kids. They ride bikes around our neighborhood with masks on and she cries whenever they have to go inside or she has to go inside. I almost feel like she cries more now than she did when she was 5. Does anyone have tips on how to teach a child that tears aren’t the only way to express frustration, anger, and sadness? I try to console her and help her through it but I also wish I could say “you are 7 years old. Don’t cry because you can’t find your socks.” [/quote]
