THINGS TO SAY INSTEAD OF STOP CRYINGWHAT TO SAY OTHER THAN STOP CRYING!Parenting can be rough, but we must always keep in mind that our children are humans too. So picture this… You come home from a really rough day at work. So rough that you just start crying! So you make your way to the person you confide in the most and they tell you to NOT CRY! How is that going to make you feel?Well here is some alternatives that you can attempt to remember in situation like that. First I would recommend taking a deep breathe so you don’t feel so overwhelmed with the chaos of crying kids.I see that you are sadI see this is really hard for youI am here with youTell me all about itThat was really scary, sad, ETC. (whatever emotion fits)I will help you work it outI am listeningI hear that you need space. I want to be here for you. I will stay close so you can find me when you are ready.It doesn’t feel fair does it?You are more than welcome to change these up in any way and use them in any context that sounds more natural to you. Feel free to even make your own list. The goal is to say something to them that maybe you would like to hear instead of stop crying. Every situation is different, so every response is going to be different.Read more at http://bit.ly/2Kcqg94 via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2HJ7qVi
