I understand the logic to avoid the crying and screaming.

What I’m saying is that kids cry more often when parents reinforce the crying. In other words, at some point the child learned that crying is more likely to get them what they want. That was taught to them by the parents. But if they don’t get what they want, crying is less frequent. I’ve seen kids that don’t cry when parents tell them no and the parents never walk on eggshells around them. My friend’s wife works with kids for a living and is really good at that. Her two year old is so fucking smart and never has any tantrums. It’s actually really impressive.
