Leav97 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well crying would be an understatement. Wailing would be a better word. I was expecting this around 12. I wasn't much of a crier as a kid. Any advice? I'm hoping this stage isn't going to last very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Six year olds are big criers. Maybe she went into it a year late. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Neither of my two dds cried more when they were 12. :001_huh: IOW, I wouldn't blame it hormones or even on a certain age. Younger dd did cry. Well, she droned. Older dd rarely cried, and when she did, it wasn't for long. Younger dd would drone on and on and on. :glare: Eventually I realised that droning was how she handled things, so I let her drone, but she had to do it in her room. I was happy when she outgrew that stage (probably when she was 5 or 6). Which is to say that if you think your dd is crying for no good reason, I don't see anything wrong with looking her in the eyeball and telling her to control herself, and that if she cannot, she can spend time in her room on her bed (or yours, if she shares a room) until she can get her act together.

PentecostalMom Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Six year olds are big criers. Maybe she went into it a year late. :D Ha! My dd will be six in March & we go through this, too. This is my first dd, I didn't know there was a crying stage before hormones! I still have another one, too! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
