I try to always be there for my daughter when she's crying, but I also watch out for the fake tears. For instance, when she falls down and gets up to start playing again as if everything is okay - but then she notices that I saw her fall, thus prompting the tears. I'm sure it goes back to her younger years when that type of thing prompted an immediate reponse from us, but she's a big girl now and the fakeness can get old fast. That said, we never ignore her rightout, in those cases we just explain to her that it's not a big deal, and that she needs to handle it on her own.
