How to Raise Emotionally-Resilient Kids in a Tear-Shaming World

Updated: Mar 29, 2024

Any parent knows that little kids can cry a river of tears over the seemingly smallest of things. 

It might be that they wanted the pink cup, not the yellow cup. 

That they wanted one more story after the five you already read. 

It might be that brother and sister are unable to see eye to eye because they both want the same toy. 

Whatever it is, the tears are never about the thing that seems so insignificant to our adult minds. Rather, it’s an emotional cascade – accumulated minor stresses that suddenly find an outlet. Like a dam bursting, these seemingly trivial events become the gateway for a healing flood of emotions.
