[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know how you know if it’s for attention, or not. It’s okay to have feelings and express them. It’s not okay to disturb others, so if he is sobbing in public, take him out for a minute to settle down. He needs to learn to use words and you will have to practice with him. He should be learning to say that he is disappointed and sad, and as he matures, he will realize that no ice cream this time doesn’t mean no ice cream for the rest of his life. In the moment, you should say that you can see that he is upset and give him a hug and move on. Your post sounds like you’re angry with him. A small child cannot control his emotions. You should read about helping children manage their strong feelings. [/quote]
