Help with 3 year old emotions

[Driftingnicks]

Hi there just a bit of advice. Made a bit of of a rod for my own back. When my lo was born I gave him attention whenever he cried, i have avoided doing that now for about half a year or so and he now 3, when he's tired especially he tends to cry with this loud awful put on cry, although the noise is not real the emoshion is and I am getting fed up since whenever he is around kids especially and is tired he becomes overly sensitive and I don't quite know how to stop him.. I try to talk to him and explain that when he is upset or angry walk away or calm down and talk to me. He understands alot for his age and is very clever but full on
Thanks In advance

Giving attention to your child when they are born is not making a rod for your own back.

Your son does not have the mental capability to regulate his own emotions at 3 years old. That is a physiological development that comes with time.

In the meantime, he needs you to reassure him that you are there for him and can hold his emotions for him.

I highly recommend reading Sarah Ockwell Smiths books. She discusses things like this in all of her books and she's utterly fabulous. She's done all sorts from sleep to discipline. Give it a try.
