[quote=nannydebsays]The crying: Try a little empathy or some reflective listening. If he's just a little upset, it might help him to have his feelings validated. Once you do that, then suggest he go play, and if he doesn't want to play, let him be and gently tell him you hope he joins in the fun soon. The repeating: Boys are odd. He might just be double checking for no reason, he might think you don't really mean what you say, he might even have a developmental language issue. Ask his parents if the school he attends has ever suggested testing him to see if he needs speech therapy - most preschools do test these days, so it's a fairly innocuous question. And count yourself lucky. My little guy actually will refute everything I say. It's tough to be wrong about everything all the time! [/quote]
