Well good morning all, today in Newcastle it is supposed to
be a lovely day on the hot side, I am up dressed and waiting for Summer to
arrive, I wonder if it will still be morning by the time I get to post this. It
is hard at times to get things done when I have Summer.
Today I want to talk about how Silence is often the loudest
cry.
There’s always some truth behind ‘just kidding,’
knowledge behind ‘I don't know,’ emotion behind ‘I don't care,’ and pain
behind: ‘It’s okay.’ So pay close
attention to how people feel, especially those you care for most. Sometimes what a person needs most is a hand
to hold and a heart to understand.
I know myself when I am truly hurting I will say
nothing, I will try my best not to let others see me cry, or how much they have
hurt me. I can't tell you why I do this I just do, maybe I don't want to appear
like a “cry baby”.
I feel that adults and often men more than women
will teach children that it is not ok to cry, how often have the words don’t be
a “cry baby” been said to a child who is crying over nothing. I think it would
do for people to remember that crying if okay even if it is over nothing and
instead of putting the child down for crying to give them a hug and say in a
calm and soothing voice that it’s okay to cry but really is it that bad. Then talk
it through and explain why you feel they are crying over nothing and why it isn't
so bad, or if you think the child is just crying for attention than explain to
the child that they don't need to cry to get your attention.
Of course it is not that easy to not get all
bent out of shape and angry with a child who is crying just for attention but
if possible take a deep breath and remain calm and talk to the child in quiet
and calm voice.
If the child is crying because they have fallen
over and hurt themselves than there is no reason to get angry the child needs
to be comforted and not told to stop crying because “boys” don't cry that in my
opinion is sending the wrong message to the child.
I get really annoyed when I hear someone put a
child down because the child is crying, crying is the first way we learnt to communicate.
Tears can be healing, no matter the age. I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteSo true crying cleansers the soul
DeleteA good cry can sometimes be just the ticket

That is can
DeleteEverybody needs to cry at some time or another. I've done it in the shower, in the car, in the bathroom. It's a release of pent up emotion.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people who can cry at the drop of a hat
DeleteYou make a very good point, Jo-Anne. I get tired of people who are angry because children cry. It's okay to cry, and it's okay for you to let go and cry, too. Sometimes a good cry helps me feel better.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yeah I don't like hearing people have a go at a child because the child is crying sometimes they cry because they are frustrated and don't know how to make the adult understand how they are feeling
DeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteI agree...teaching children NOT to cry is a bad idea. Tears are a human response and there is nothing wrong or shameful to that. If the child starts "faking" crying for attention that is a whole other matter.
ReplyDeleteI think all parents can tell the difference from a real cry and fake cry, I know I can and a fake cry is treated differently
DeleteCrying is healthy!
ReplyDeleteThis post should be included in parenting books!!!
Thank you, and you are so right about it being healthy
DeleteSound advice!
ReplyDeleteI always feel better after a good cry. And for someone who can cry at TV commercials, I have no business telling a child not to cry. :)
