[quote=Anonymous]I teach 8 year olds and a lot of the boys are as emotional or even more emotional than the girls. I don’t think it’s necessarily as atypical as you think. However as a mom of an emotional kid with anxiety, I wouldn’t tiptoe around trying to avoid the crying. That does nothing to help him build resilience and defenses. I’m not saying his sibling should bait him, but they should treat him naturally and your job is to work with him to develop strategies for when he’s having trouble regulating. 8 is a hard age for boys.
