I agree with the about as well BUT I do know one little boy who is the same age as Evan and just looking at mine & his mothers different techniques for comforting when they fall over etc I think over doing it will make an impact. I tend to Say "Oh up you get" if Evan falls over. "Oh dear" " you're alright" " Come show me" and "Oh let me give it a kiss" when he hurts him self. You can tell a wingy cry for attention to a my leg has just fallen off cry. I will respond according to the need, most times Evan is ok & even if there are a few tears a kiss on the hurt spot always fixes it. Evan even kisses his own hurt bits! He is ok as long as he knows I'm near by if he needs me. Yet this other little boy is the biggest sook out there. If he falls his mothers response is a high pitched "OH KOBY, come here baby". So this kids automatic response is OMG something is terribly wrong & then of course he plays it up. So I do think that you can over do it & end up with a kid who crys at the smallest thing. I say just play be ear and respond according to the need.
