6 yr old crybaby?

Question:

How do i make my six yr old stop acting like a baby. He crys about stupid stuff like what were having for dinner, or if I tell him to put his socks on. He also sucks his thumb. Otherwise he's a good sweet kid

Answers:
There is something bothering him and he does not know how to tell you. These acts are the signs that something is playing in his head and he either does not know how to express it, or he is afraid to. (No offense to you, kids are afraid of many things. He may be afraid of disappointing you.) or There is a new baby in the house, or a new baby closely related who is around a lot and he is feeling "replaced" or "ignored"
Which ever it is, he is not acting out to get attention, he just is not sure how to express himself articulately.
There are a couple more things it may be, if there is a new man in your life, he may feel like he is not important anymore. We all know how our minds can play with us. If he has older siblings, one may be harassing him, if no older siblings, may be there is someone at school that is bullying him. (Unless he is on vacation.)

tell him he is not a baby and not to act like that..maybe u can make out a dinner schedule and maybe find out what foods will make is dinner be better...about the socks..my son is 2 and he dont like socks so im clueless on that one lol....good luck with your boy
