[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son started this behavior around 6, we let it go for a while uuntil at age 7 we found out that he was crying at school for pointless things. (He has a kid in class that has emotional problems and cries non-stop.) We did try everything. [b]So we finally said, unless you are bleeding you are not allowed to cry.[/b] We told him that he needed to try everything before he started crying... walk away, take deep breathes, pray, tell yourself a joke, talk to someone, think of a story... with practice he has finally stopped. Good Luck.[/quote] :shock: Of course you shouldn't coddle your kid every time he cries but teaching him that his feelings aren't valid is terrible.Do you never cry unless you're bleeding?[/quote]
