Can you not buy him a little pair of high heels or a handbag to cheer him up?
In all seriousness I would go to the doctors, have the school not mentioned anything?

Fancy a job with the government?Shut up man. A bit of public shaming never harmed anyone.
Well if it is then I would be taking the child to a psychologist rather than asking for advice on here.![]()
He's ten years old and cries over the silliest of things like getting something wrong, not getting his own way or just bumping into something. He's started getting bullied at school as other kids are winding him up just to hear him cry.
I took him down to a Judo club a few months ago as I thought regular physical contact might toughen him up a bit, but the first time he was thrown over, he cried and now refuses to go back.
The problem is, he isn't always sad. He's doing well at school, has a great sense of humor and loves making people laugh. But when he's upset, he just can't control his emotions. He'll be going into secondary school next year, so I want to help him sort himself out before he becomes the target of other bullies.
Many years agoWhen did people start calling Autism, ASD?
Being tough on the kid would make him worse.You’d have to gradually gain his confidence and show him the way.And it is logic like this which is raising a generation of piss-weak soy-boys.
Stoicism, which is necessary to be a man's man, needs to be taught by example to sons.
@Gillythedilf will back me up on this.
We all have different emotional triggers. Other than the bullying which can be sorted, is the crying so bad? He's still really young.He's ten years old and cries over the silliest of things like getting something wrong, not getting his own way or just bumping into something.

Lots of websites and people we have spoken to, including the teachers at his school consider his behaviour to be normal for a child his age. But in comparison to our other two sons and of boys that we know, his symptoms are certainly not normal.We all have different emotional triggers.

No two kids are the same. My son is in year 7 and still cries, more so in the house and not at school. Maybe not making a big deal of it and an arm round his shoulder might help. Sometimes when you're very conscious of doing something it's harder to stop.Thanks for the replies. He has two older brothers and we don't have any issues with either of them. He receives plenty of love and support from home. We're certainly not over protective, but we can't help thinking we're doing something wrong. There aren't any other underlying issues that we're aware of. I think we may seek specialist help. After reading up on autism, there are a few symptoms which match his behaviour.

You’re talking about someone’s kid here, perhaps? You’re inferring that he’s a cry baby. No need.
