[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay calm. Comfort him calmly, without getting into the drama yourself. Don't punish or humiliate a kid for having feelings - that's just mean! [/quote] +1. And for those saying tell him to suck it up, a five year old isn't going to understand what that even means. He's just going to register a lack of compassion. Doesn't actually solve anything because it's not teaching him how to deal with emotions more effectively.[/quote] Not all emotions are equal. Sometimes you need to teach kids to turn it off. If not, you're just raising a cry baby. It's alright to cry but some kids need to be taught when it's isn't. It's also alright to toughen up.[/quote] I totally agree! [/quote]
