What should my 4-year-old son do if he always cries?
Crying is a way for children to vent, but your friend's children are obviously timid and clingy to their mothers. He has used the act of "crying" as a weapon, because this method is always effective, so no matter what happens, he knows that his mother will compromise when she cries. In the long run, it will affect children's future education. Give your friends some hints: 1. Cultivate children's self-esteem. Inferiority will make him more sensitive and cry more. Therefore, it is very useful to promote children's self-evaluation and praise good behavior from time to time. You shouldn't ask too much of him or do what he can't do. Don't encourage him to cry. We should take a neutral attitude towards children's crying, neither rewarding nor punishing. You can play some entertainment games with him to distract your attention or give him some kind comfort. However, don't give too much sympathy, or you will give your child "motivation" to cry. 3. Help (or guide) your child to turn crying into language. Teach him to speak his mind when he encounters difficulties or disappointment, so that his parents can better understand his thoughts and demands and solve them for him more pertinently. 4.
