Crying All the Time - Sulphur,LA

How old is your son?

Belly ache (gas)? Worms in his bottom (does he play with dirt? Check his poop)? Ear pain?

My son is also two years old and I think he is also sensitive. Whenever he starts to cry, I ask him if he wants a hug and that makes him feel a lot better. We then talk about his feelings - for example, if he's sad or angry, or if he just wants something but doesn't verbalize. I also bought some books about feelings and he likes looking at those.

My 18 mo old was going through this about 3 weeks ago, I couldn't cook, clean or even go potty without her crying for me, it was REALLY bad. So I researched it a bit and what worked for me was....if i was cooking and she started crying for me I would hug her tight until she wanted to break free and go play (usually lasted less than 2 mins) I also started putting her to bed 30 mins earlier. not sure if any of this will help but just thought I'd share.

Does he talk yet? When I am stumped about my kids' feelings, we play a game. I ask, "Tell me something ____, " or "What happened today that was ____?" (usually the blank is happy, sad, scary, or funny). We talk about a few feelings at a time and sometimes I get a pretty good window into their lives. Sometimes it's just a way to have a conversation, which is also good for their development. Good luck!
