[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crying to get your way is the type of reinforced learned helplessness that mothers of girls implicitly and explicitly seem to condone on a regular basis. I am a NP and mother of 3 boys. I will continue to denigrate the behavior of crying to get one's way- be it from a male or female. I will never nurture victim behavior. [/quote] Excuse me, I don't nurture crying as a "victim behavior" but I also don't invalidate the feelings that caused the crying. I don't care whether we are talking about boys or girls, they are entitled to feelings, they are entitled to cry when they are hurt, and sometimes they need help understanding that having their feelings hurt isn't the same and being physically hurt.[/quote]
