How do i get him to stop being such a crybaby?

My brother is 11 years old almost 12 and he cries about ANYTHING! Right now he is crying because my mom didnt get anything good when she went grocery shopping, which has to be a lie because he doesnt even eat that much and she got all the stuff he eats. So how do i get him to stop crying right now and how to get him to stop crying so often?

    Your brother is younger than you?

    I'm assuming so.

    Youngest child syndrome....

    (Not really a medical problem.)

    But if he is the youngest sibling then you can bet he is probably just spoilt.

    There is nothing that you can do honestly.

    It would be left up to your parents if they want to change he's behaviour.

    They have to stop treating him like a baby and stop letting him get he's own way all the time.

    Because this is probably the reason why he cries all the time...

    Hopefully i helped.

    Good luck

  • Ignore him and it will stop. He is doing it as a attention getter and if you feed his attention, he will continue to keep doing it. If you go about your business and let him have is out burst, he will realize that not body cares and he will stop.

    If it bothers you, tell him to cry in his room with the door closed.

    In fact, have him do that every time is has a session like what you disscribed and it will end quickly I promise.

    He feel that everything that goes wrong or could go wrong is because you don't love him. He is very sensitive, emotional, really into himself.

    What does he like to do, games he likes to play, places he would like to go to?

    He need to feel good about himself and that he is important and loved in his family. Are you good to his Friends?

    This could also be a selfishness on his part to just not like anything in the family because he is jealous of you !! He may resent ''miss perfect''.

    Mom and dad must show him that they love you both the same.

    If you have some talents that you can share with him then do it, like the piano, tennis, singing.

    I have an 11 year old son and he is the oldest in our family and he knows to set a good example. If you have younger siblings tell him he needs to set a good example and if you don't well then ignore him.
