None of my kids have this issue except one. He cries over every injury and every frustration, from breaking a cheap stocking stuffer toy to not being able to fly his drone just right, to drawing a picture and it doesn't look right, to you fricking name it. This is not learned behavior. We don't coddle or encourage it. It pisses me, his mother and all of his siblings off and we've tried everything, from ignoring it, to laughing at it, to talking about how you lose people's respect when reacting like that, etc. I wrestled and so did his older siblings, so I put him in wrestling to toughen him up but we're in year 3 and no improvement.

How does the OT fix this shite, because I don't believe it's something I can learn to live with.

Maybe add boxing along with the wrestling for more toughness.

This seems like something you would just make worse by addressing it directly. If it costs him social experiences like hanging out with friends or getting the attention of a girl, the negative reinforcement from that should be enough to get him to control his emotions.

so your entire family has employed every form of negative reinforcement you know of and it hasn't worked...congrats on the years of therapy you'll end up paying for, genius...

How long has it been going on for? Does he maybe have some other shite going on at school that he hasn’t told y’all about. My 9 year old went through a bit of a nervy period and finally opened up to us about having a hard time and a group of kids giving him a hard time. After he got all that out it improved a lot.

They’re developing a ton at that age and a lot of them are carrying more stress over these past two fricked up years than we realize.

Yes, I told my fat white wife to intimidate the jerk that made him do it. She's huge and ugly, so usually a look from her is all it takes.

The OT has a 100% delivery rate on sissy son threads. Y'all owe me like a suitcase of Budweiser from the cumulative wasted chortling spit ups

I knew a guy like this when I was younger. He had pretty normal social interactions, and was an attractive guy so didn’t have many problems. Until he started crying because he got hurt, a coach yelled at him, or he was mad. Then he got made fun of pretty hard.

He went into the Marines and is a cop now.

Have you tried "stop crying, you little pussy or I'll give you something to cry about?"

I can’t believe you haven’t tried “or I’ll give you something to cry about….”
