[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can say something kind, such as, “That sounds hard.” Then put it back on her. “How can you have fun with a different toy?” The empathetic part has to be brief and always point her back towards her agency in the situation.[/quote] We do a similar thing but frame it as “is this a crying problem or a solving problem?” If she’s hurt or sad, that’s a crying problem and empathy and cuddles are the way to go. If she’s mad or frustrated, that’s a solving problem - you can work on identifying the difference, building the brain tools to help tackle “solving” problems without crying. The goal is to help your kid recognize and identify the underlying feeling she is having and then take action to resolve that rather than the crying and relying on adult help or sympathy. [/quote]
