DD has always been a cryer. She started at around 7 and has gone on since. But I am an 'ignorer' in that they minute she starts crying, and if it's something I need to stand my ground on, I start withdrawing sympathy and instead remind her that we can't have a proper conversation if she's crying. Not that it's always stopped her, but it's kept me sane, and sometimes it actually works. I suspect that she has received gratification from others (her dad, my parents, her friends) from crying, so the inclination to cry at the drop of a hat has remained.
Sorry hun I wish I had better news for you.
