[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a meltdown, not a tantrum. If he's saying he cannot stop crying, it's because he's genuinely feeling overwhelmed and out of control. It could be a developmental change, difficulty transitioning, different expectations, anxiety, need for more sleep, etc. Personally, I wouldn't jump into having him evaluated, especially if he's doing fine otherwise. IMO, it's well within the range of normal for a 4.5 year old. Mine had some epic meltdowns in Kindergarten. And after Winter break, they pretty much just stopped. [/quote]
