Loud cry (fake?) on and on....

Yup- I have one of those too. I usually look him in the eye and sternly say "NO, you have nothing to cry about. that's enough"! He seems to get it. resulting in big breaths and a sigh, wimper (another NO) and he stops. if not; I do put him in his bed to work it out. once we are all done we are back to playing again.

Oh boy, I sure have tried this. Absolutely nothing that I have tried stops the crying... sternly telling him to stop, using a gentle approach, ignoring. Once he starts it just keeps going and going. I like the idea of removing him to his bed (in a room just off my daycare playroom) & as soon as he stops bring him back. This way, we are getting some relief from the sound and hopefully, with no attention at all during and lots of positive when he's done...it stops more quickly.
