These expressions that adults use without thinking are merely to avoid the annoyance that provokes a child's cry, not only confuses the child but, above all, maim him.
Leora Kuttner in her book “Feemia and pain” When a child is prejudged by crying, the adult has been crippled by the natural and healthy way of expressing stress.
When an adult tells the child that: “has nothing to cry about”, “enough to cry”, or “where this hurts”, the child closes itself and tries to suppress this feeling.
All of this together confuses the child's feelings for himself. It is these behaviors of adults and the child's hard - pressed actions that build long - term psychic structures that so silently build on man, insensitivity, and suffering.
