I have a friend who has a 5 year old son who always cry just to get what he wants. What advice should I give my friend?

kids always cry for things he wanted, if crying became an efficacious trick, that not only spoils the kid and but also add your extra bills. firstly, tell him to how ask for things in a rite manner, thou. it's a tough job to educate kids to act in a good manner, i always give the examples to him of how good kid behaves, how they are speaking to elders and showing respect to parents, praise him if he did follow. secondly, tell him what are the rite things in the world for kid,

Not to give in. If the kid always gets what he wants when he cries or throws a tantrum, his mother or father is giving him the message that that's acceptable, and the way to get what he wants. Instead, he should be ignored and told quite plainly that's no way to behave. If it continues, what we did with my niece was to take something *away* from her if she tried to throw a tantrum to get something. She knocked it off pretty quickly once she realized that not only would she not get something she wanted, she'd lose something she already had.

Children always do that..But whether to give him what he request is upto you. But it will be better if you don't give him all the things he request. He have to know that all things in the world is not acheivable. He has to get used to situations when he doesn't get something else it will become a big problem when he comes into real life where he won't get all things he wishes.
