Because they are seven that is what seven year olds do... also if you cave everytime they cry and they get what they want they will never quit... Show them who the parent is

I think it is a growing stage ... I have an eight year old that has recently started the same thing as have a few of my friends girls between the ages of 7 and nine .
Try talking with her to be sure nothing is going on, and she is not be bullied at school or does not have something else going on. But, chances are shes going through the same emotional stresses of growing up. Good Luck...I know how hardit is to deal with it.

Talk with her and find out what is going on. possibly it is a phase she is going through but I have 5 children 2 girls 3 boys and none of them went through that unless they were ill and being emotional then was gone as soon as they were better. How are things going at school ? are you and her father divorced ? what are some of the things that might have her so emotional ? could someone have touched her inappropriately ? assses the situation and maybe if you can't figure it out then have a full physical done and talk to her physician about it. seek the assistance of a psychologist. and if it still persists and isn't figured out then maybe when she cries she's just pushing your buttons and it's just a ploy for attention or personal gain, and needs to go to her room when she is feeling so emotional. Good Luck !

It will stop. My 2 daughters cried all the time too. It was embarrising because they did it all the time no matter where we were. They grew out of it. They were just scared of everything. Now they are 14 and 15 and they never do it. It stopped around age 6 for them.

It could be because he/she wants attention. Whether it be good or bad. Just as long as they have some. My brother is four and does the same thing, but my parents don't do anthing about it so he just keeps it up all the time. Make sure you are disciplining him/her so that they know who the boss is and that you aren't going to put up with it.

what you need to do is be more agressive. being a push over will make the 7 year old cry when they dont get there way

I would like to know the answer to that one. My 8 year old does the same thing. No, I don't put up with it.

She is one of the gifted few who know they are in hell and, there is nothing they can do about it.
