she does`nt cry at school. She`s been crying at school every day since the beginning of September. We`re going straight to the store after school finishes to get this (small kids piano)

She seems to be on board with the plan. lol But things change when emotions take over.

Wish us luck. We`re also going to MacDonalds for whatever toy their giving away with a kids meal. She keeps asking for that. oh well. lol

Here it is.

That's a really cute piano.

I played the piano for years and years...

It's a wonderful exercise to get a child involved in...
 
Dude!!!! Thats just like the one Elton John plays!!!
Tell her i said that!

Whoa, cool! Will you get me one too? I promise I wont cry anymore (unless you make me inject UG winstrol). Pwease?
 
Bad idea to reward her not crying with that. Now when she wants something, she'll know what to do...

Yeah I know what you mean, but she`s been crying since SEPTEMBER! This time I said, "If you don`t cry Monday at school, we`ll go to the store and buy you any toy you want." I`ll be happy if it works and then I`ll worry about the "reward" thing. If she does`nt stop crying, she`ll get kicked out of school.

btw I told her about the piano, she did`nt pick it out. She wants those MacDonalds toys. lol
 
Tell her to stop crying, or you'll give her something to cry about.


That's what my parents told me.
 
It's a wonderful thing to learn to play. I've played since I was a little girl. It's always been a great way for me to express emotions and just zone out. Hopefully she'll feel the same way!

She`s been sick for almost 2 months from congestion from crying. We`ve tried amny things to make her stop, including me being at the school with her in the class, outside the class, in the parking lot, a phone call away, we changed her ful day status to half day, changed her morning only status to afternoon only because there`s less children in the afternoon class. We`ve done it all. I`m sure I left stuff out.

She does`nt cry when I`m with her, sometimes the crying comes during the day, she just wants to go home. I feel if she can go for 1 day without crying, she`ll see it`s fun and not so bad there.

If we can get past this, I can manage reversing the issue of not crying for something.

Do you guys have a better idea? It`s easy to say "Don`t reward crying" but it really is`nt the way it may seem.

I`ll let you know how it goes.

ATDQ.

LMAO! that'd be quite the sight! :)

GL, that's a really cute piano. :)
 
After this much time, don't you think that maybe the girl needs professional help?

It sucked because she asked if we were going to get her toy now? and I had to tell her no because she cried. wtf did I do???

Going nuts.

That sucks :( What has she told you is the reason for her tears? Is it a particular thing about the school, or do you think she just doesn't like being away from her parents/with strangers?
 
obviously something is bothering her to cry all the time. have you tried to see if there are children who pick on her or are mean? or how about the teacher. what if she doesn't cry, she gets the reward then goes back to crying? crying for one day shouldn't be the task for her, you should make it longer. good luck on that one but it does sound like you are missing something where she is concerned.

GL has done his due dilligence and hung around to ensure she isn't being
disrespected.. She is likely just very sensitive, loves her dad and weepy like my daughter.

Yes, thanks for that. ^^^^^

I`ve been in her class the whole day for about 2 weeks. I actually saw stuff that parents would love to see about their school. I did like the way the teachers are with the kids, they`re very nice to them and it`s a great place. I sat in back of the class for the 2 weeks.

When I ask her why she cries, she says "I miss my daddy." I have`nt seen anyone bother her. She does`nt tell us that either when we ask. I`ve seen what bothers her when I was there observing. She seems overwhelmed from the amount of people there, she`s very shy, that`s why we wanted her to start school to begin with, so she could interact with other kids.

Her class now is on 5 kids which should be less stressful for her. IMO if she does`nt cry for ONE DAY, she`ll realize there`s nothing really to cry about, she`s just too distracted with wanting to go home to have fun.

I`m still hanging in there. She`s been through a lot this past month or two. Sick for almost 2 months, broken arm still in a cast, crying every day... Poor girl, she deserves a damn piano.

Stay strong bor. I feel for ya, she's a cute kid and I know she's pulling at your heart strings, I go through the same deal with mine.
But kids actually like limitations and respond the best when you clearly define what is acceptable and not acceptable. As long as your fair and follow through with what you say.
If you said she needs to not cry to get a piano, then DONT GIVE IT TO HER. Just explain the situation, and tell her you arent mad, thats real important.
Good luck bor, being a dad is the best thing in the world.
 
Another day, another bout of crying. Her teacher says at least she sits down for cookies with everyone at the table. She never used to do that. Slowly getting there but still crying.

The drive to the school EVERY day I go is so stressful, waiting to see how it went and it`s never good news. Not once!

It`ll happen one day, I`ll post up when it does. Thanks everyone.
