re: 10 year old son is a crybaby

The poor kid sounds miserable. More than likely he gets picked on at school because he is the only kid with no tv or video games. In moderation those things are healthy, OP. So since he gets picked on at school he feels rejected then at home its worse because to him his entire family seems to hate him too.
I am taking the under of age 27 before he shoots OP with his shotgun.

Sounds like all but one take after your wife. Quit your bitching, you sound like your kid.

Some kids are just more sensitive. At least acknowledge his big feels and try to find a way to calm him down and get him to move on. Also see if someone is bullying your kid and this is his way of trying to get help?

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.
Get him evaluated. He could have borderline autism.

He's not a goat. He can't exactly go to school and converse with friends about how good the grazing is on his land. Let him get involved with stuff he'll have in common with other kids

Maybe he’s crying because you insane people are abusing him?
Or because he's a crybaby.

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?
Couldn't imagine why a kid that constantly cries all the time would get bullied by his peers.
quote:
Also why would you care if it’s a learned behavior or not?
Because he's setting the norm for his household.
quote:
You understand that your negative reinforcement could exacerbate a possible mental illness?
Or his kid could stop being a crybaby. Nobody likes a crybaby, if his constant whining and crying continues, he will have no friends and be in a much worse situation than he is right now.

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.
Sounds to me like this dad wants help with his son.

I'm confused. Am I supposed to assume you're less of a psycho than OP? What a creepy prediction.

Appears to have some social difficulties, maybe get him to talk to someone.

There is nothing to “fix”. Your child is tender hearted. That’s how he expresses himself.

This has to be some kind of a joke by the op.
If not…I really feel for the kid.
I'm sorry, but jumping every time your kid throws a fit is a surefire fricking way to have a weakling for a son.

Ya, OP and family may be putting a ton of pressure on him to fit into some mold that isn't natural or comfortable for him. Sounds like he probably has difficulty fitting in both at home and at school. May want to back off a bit in terms of trying to make the kid be hard.

So, lie to his kid? Reinforce this behavior?

Anxiety is difficult to understand, but can be dealt with. Find a behavioral psychologist who deals with kids. Be sure to find one who will talk to parents as well as the child, because how you deal with the outbursts is critical to your kids being able to handle the stresses that cause the outbursts.
Also, let your kid know you love him and you want to help him deal with things that bother him. You may end up having to apologize if your behavior made things worse for him.
Speaking from experience here. My kid has anxiety. It is usually associated high achievers and high IQ individuals.

Exactly, he's 10, not 3. The crying over every bump and bruise to his body or his ego was supposed to end years ago.

He's supposed to feel unconditional love & safety at home.
You're exactly correct, he is. But he's also supposed to set the standards and norms for his family. The way they're to act and the things that will not be acceptable.

My daughter is a little over 2 and absolutely loses her shite every time we put out clothes on her. She’s generally a really well behaved kid. Very friendly, kind, and interacts with kids she’s familiar with.
But the smallest things can flip her switch and she turns into a completely different kid. Uncontrollable at times.
She’ll sit down and pout, then come to us and say “sorry daddy/mommy”
But it’s every damn time. I’m hoping it’s a phase. She does the exact same thing when we wash her hair.
I’m worried that there’s a sensory issue
She's 2, not 10 like this kid is. There's a reason why they're called the terrible 2s.

He’s 10 not 20. One day he’ll look back on these years and probably be embarrassed about how he acted. However, he might also realize how much of a dick his family was to him so have fun with that
