What do you mothers normally do if you see your child cry?

Answer 1

Hug him and ask him what is wrong and I do whatever it takes to make him feel better. My heart just melts when I see tears in his eyes.

Answer 2

Well, normally you might want to find out why the child is crying. Also it depends on the child's age to define a reaction. You know different aged children and gender respond to certain reactions differently. I must say that I have two boys. One is eight and the other twelve. They are getting there in age. They don't cry often, maybe when they get punished or their feelings are hurt by some words. I can tell you, if they cry from punishment, which is normally a spanking, it probably hurts me more than it hurts them because after I spank them and they are crying, I will end up going into my room and shedding a few tears in private because it hurt me to see them cry. If they cry from someone hurting their feelings and they come to me and tell me and I see the tears, oh boy, I am mad as hell, I am ready to fight then because those are my babies and no one has the right to hurt them. So as you can see there are different reasons and different reactions for a mother when she sees her child cry.

Answer 3

Well it depends what she is crying for. If she is crying because
she got hurt then, I will give her a hug and kiss her cut or a least near her injury. If she is crying because she is did not get her way, then I would say go stay in your room and don't come out until you feel better. If she doesn't feel good then I will help treat the problem if possible. You have to treat every cry differently depending on what the situation is.

Answer 4

I drop to my knees and wrap my son in my arms and hold him so ight he can barely breath! Half the time i end up crying with him! He is 16 years old and we r very close and he tell me just about everything- I love our long talks! I almost lost him when he was 10- he was run over by a truck while crosssing the road and ever since that day i live each day with him like its the last! I know Id surely die without my son in my life! It tears my heart into a million peices to see him cry over anything and it always makes me want to go kick butt for whoever did hurt him or make him cry! Mama bear instincts!

Answer 5

Well it would depend on why they are crying. If it is pain then I would hug them and console them. If it is because of a tantrum and no reason I ignor it and go onso they get the message not to do that again and it gets no rewards. If I find they are crying and I don't know why I would hold them and talk to them to distract them from the reason. Then do something fun together and allow them time to tell me the troubble and assure them I am hear to listen and try to help out.

Answer 6

We quickly become immune to panic. We learn what the cries mean. This is particularly important when our children are infants. We can discriminate between a cry of hunger, illness, or pain. As our children mature, we learn whether or not they are tantruming, suffering emotionally, or just trying to be manipulative.
Contrary to popular belief, tears of our children don't necessarily wrench our hearts. A good mother's approach is more diagnostic than emotional. We don't want to see our children suffer, but a discerning parent is not swayed by tears. We know when to step back and let our children figure it out for themselves. We are always concerned, but as I began, we quickly become immune to panic.

Answer 7

if i do not know what the problem is then i go over right away to see what is making him upset. if he needs a hug and a few minutes of cuddling i give it to him. all depends on what he is crying for. SD

Answer 8

mine is only 19 months, so I know why she is crying, etiher she wants something she cannot have, or she is being put down for a nap and doesnt want one, or she is being held by someone she doesnt like. All instances I try to distract her. She doesnt cry when she falls or gets "hurt feelings", so I dont baby her too much.

Answer 9

Well I would go over and see why there crying might be there wet or hungry or there just want some love or the just want to be rock to sleep

Answer 10

Like the others said, try to console by finding out what the problem is. I also shush near my son's ear. It calms him down some unless he's *really* upset.
