[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that she only does it with you. That is good! What about offering her a reward for not crying. I'd usually say 2ish is a bit too young for a rewards chart, but, since she is so verbal it could be worth a try.[/quote] Is it ok from an emotional perspective to incentivize not crying? Everything I’ve read says that crying in and of itself is not a problem. So does rewards for not crying send an inappropriate message that crying is bad? Sorry for dumb questions. I’m really struggling.[/quote] This is what I tell my kid, basically: All feelings are good but not all actions are good. Sometimes crying, which is an action, feels good but if it goes on too long, it keeps you from breathing and talking and doing the things you really want to do (like eating ice cream). You make the choice on what feels better, do you want to cry or do you want to do some deep breathing?[/quote]
