[quote=Anonymous]As a kid I was an easy crier and now that I'm grown up, sometimes I have to fight it in especially frustrating situations. I've sort of developed a mantra that I just continuously repeat to myself when I can tell I am getting emotional or I get that tight throat feeling. I just say "smile on the inside" over and over and when I think about it it doesn't make much literal sense, but it's helped me stuff down my tears in a tough moment. Maybe you can talk with your son about having a phrase that he can say to himself. Doing this helps me tune out what's going on around me and I think having a positive word like "smile" in the phrase helps quell the negativity a little. [/quote]
