My son is very emotional and just this morning he was in tears over something that was causing him anxiety.
He didn’t want to go to school and worked himself up into a state. It’s awful when any of my kids get themselves so upset but that’s just how they feel.
After some cuddles and some talking I made him to go school and once there when he didn’t want to get out of the car I had his teacher come and talk to him and in the end he was fine and went off to school as happy as usual.
He needed to be heard and needed to feel
Safe, once those needs were met he felt good about himself again.
Big feelings are hard for all kids, it’s not gender specific
