And I talk about why that is a real time to cry. I try not to say "Do not cry" (although I often fail), instead saying "Ask me using your words."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-34977134169777607222008-03-22T17:31:00.000-04:002008-03-22T17:31:00.000-04:00Maybe what you and C are both struggling with, ind...Maybe what you and C are both struggling with, individually and with each other, is how to get everything right or just so. Seems like you both have high standards (both for your own selves and for others) and have to learn how to cope with the feelings that come up. My guess is that C. cries a lot because he hasn't developed any other way yet, and because he feels things so intensely. His dad was a pretty sensitive little dude, and now that sensitivity is part of what makes him such a great guy. I think resiliency develops from feeling understood and knowing that you can handle life. It takes a lot of practice to get there and some little ones need more reassurance than others. Then they grow up and pass that gift on.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671845397909871341noreply@blogger.com
