Laura has an interesting question... Thoughts? Hi there - can you help me understand why my 4 year old son cries inconsolably if a snack is handed to him and it breaks? We sometimes give him a cereal bar or a banana as a snack, and if it breaks in half, oh boy, he loses it! Nothing we say at that moment can fix it for him, we just have to offer a new unbroken snack to get the tears to stop flowing. What is the psychology behind this reaction - is there a touch of OCD developing? Is there anything other than empathy and a new snack that will help to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance for any insights.
