he is an emotional and sensitive little boy but what is really wrong with that? crying helps him relieve sadness or stress so it is an appropriate age-related response. with that said he may be a bit too sensitive if he is crying at school when his teacher is on a rampage. you can help him by giving him permission to cry. in private. anytime that he wants. tell him that crying is school over something like the teacher's words is really not worth the tears. crying over his fish is okay. crying that he misses his family is okay (unless he is doing this at school) but reassure him that you are always available even if doesn't know where you are. i don't know why he is insecure but perhap you do. talk to him about it. praise him for not crying unnecessarily but be proud that he can honestly express his feeling at home. if all efforts to modify his behavior fails then seeing a child counselor would be appropriate.
how to help a 7 year old that has crying issues? . he has always been an emotional kid. he cries when the teacher yells at the class and when he can't find something or can't figure out something. he has to know where the teacher his father and i are at all times. he is more worried about other people then himself. when i ask him why he is always crying he says that it is because he misses me and thinks of his grandma and a fish of his that passed away. (the fish passed away 1 week ago)
