Hi guys,
I know what your saying, I have had this problem too. I had a cub scout that would cry at the drop of the hat. I finally had to tell him to go to another area of the meeting to get himself together and eventually the crying stopped. With him it was an attention getter. Sometimes though it is that a child is so kind hearted that their feelings are really hurt. I normally talk to my daughter to calm her and explain that someimes kids can be cruel and that is why she needs to be careful about how she talks to others too. Usually this works, but my daughter can be quite the drama queen sometimes and when she starts going over the top, we send her to her room. I tell her to get it all out and she will feel better. It usually takes about a minute of being alone to get her to stop, then I talk to her about what happened. I have found that trying to deal with her during the crying only exacerbates the situation. I may be wrong and there may be a better way to handle it, but this has been working for me.
