embarrass him . Exhibiting your child in a vulnerable situation affects his self-esteem, in addition to repressing his emotions, it is not the right thing to do, you take away his security and at the same time you are turning him into a rock with his feelings, if he becomes cold, you know why.

Stigmatization of gender roles . That "boys don’t cry", "You cry like a girl" is nothing more than violating it from the stigmatization of gender roles, all human beings can go through crying and it is not exclusive to a single gender.

push him away Because you don’t even have the patience to comfort him, remember that it is a time when he needs you, if you take him away from you at a time like this, soon he will not take you into account in his life.
