[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's that unusual for an 11 year old boy to cry. I have a 13 year old DS who has always been quick to tears. He has matured a lot in the past 2 years. He may cry at home if he gets disciplined or gets into a fight with a sibling, but at school or elsewhere, it has only happened very occasionally - twice that I can think of in the past year... once when he got a grade he didn't feel was fair (and he discretely left the classroom), and another time when he was already not feeling well and had a rather minor injury on the ballfield. I think if your DS knows it's ok to express emotions and that everyone does it in different ways, that's most important. If crying in front of others bothers him, which it most likely will eventually, if it doesn't already, help him come up with a plan - to excuse himself, or take some deep breaths, or squeeze his hands together, so help him get past the moment.[/quote]
