Maybe he’s crying because you insane people are abusing him? It seems like he’s having trouble developing coping skills, in addition to some occult stressor like poor sleep or nutrition. Is he possibly getting bullied, and maybe doesn’t want to open up to you because your family sounds like a bunch of insane people? Also why would you care if it’s a learned behavior or not? You understand that your negative reinforcement could exacerbate a possible mental illness?

How does the OT fix this shite, because I don't believe it's something I can learn to live with.
Hopefully this poor kid survives his adolescence because your description sounds horrific. And then hopefully he gets as far away from your family as possible.

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.
This. His wanting to win the affection of a girl will set him straight.

Its called anxiety and I am sure calling him a crybaby is more effective than getting him medical help.

He prolly has adhd and has a hard time controlling and expressing his emotions.
Best thing besides medicine and therapy is to treat him like an adult and sit him down and talk to him about it each time he does it.
If I am correct the worse thing you can do is to do what you have been with the negative reinforcement.
Every kid is different and responds to different types on discipline.

Don’t make fun of your kid or you will emotionally scar him into sucking duck at a truck stop just to get some form of appreciation from a “father” figure.
Just teach him how to work through pain, anger and disappointment in a healthy fashion like the old count to 10 method.

He is a kid maybe if you show him how to fly the drone, gave him quality stocking stuffers, and don't laugh at him when he falls the dude won't cry. Honestly it sounds like you need an arse whipping so the kid can laugh at you when you cry.

well, he's posting, so i doubt it...

Some 10 year olds are immature. Big deal. Let us know if he's still doing it at 14.

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.
He doesn't have any stress, he's just raw emotion and always has been. I figured he'd grow out of it, but it's not happening. I can deal with alot, but this pushes my buttons. Not being a pussy or crying in public was really all there was to life when I was his age.

If you were my dad I’d cry too

He’ll grow out of it when his nuts drop

None of my kids have this issue except one.

You and your whole family are massive pieces of human dogshit.
It’s probably you guys that should go to therapy not him.

Try talking to him. If you are incapable of it, or don't want to do it, have someone who can talk to him.
This has been two of the most fricked up years for kids. All of them will process it differently. Try not to let the emotions of a ten year old break you.

He’s 10. Not 37.
Maybe go see a therapist that specializes in children and learn ways to help him. Or just be trash.
