\t\t\t\t\"three<\/a>In an almost unprecedented event, a Stapleton boy, aged three, had an actual reason to cry. \u201cYou can probably count the number of times this has been recorded on two hands,\u201d said child psychologist Dr. Dave Price. \u201cTypically, a three year old just cries randomly and sometimes when they are happy. To use a scientific term, it\u2019s pretty fucked up.\u201d Price said he has studied the emotional behavior of three year olds for over a decade and has seen thousands of three year olds crying, in person and in videos. \u201cWhat makes this situation so unique is that the incident was caught on tape,\u201d said Price. \u201cLots of people have sent me unverified statements about their three year old crying for a reason, but none had any hard evidence to back it up. It was all hearsay. What we have been looking for is video proof of a three year old crying for a legitimate reason.\u201d\n\nPrice said he and his team essentially struck gold when a Stapleton family sent them a video of their three year old crying after falling down and hitting his head on the corner of the coffee table. \u201cWe happened to be videoing the kids having a little dance party,\u201d said the father of the three year old Jim Weber. \u201cHe was just dancing around and slipped, and hit his head pretty hard. He started crying right away, and we knew something was different about the cry.\u201d Dr. Price has studied the video countless times and saw what he describes as \u2018the smoking gun\u2019 in a situation like this. \u201cWhat you notice from watching the video is that the child cries immediately,\u201d says Price. \u201cUsually, a child will look around to see how the adults around them act, and then make their decision. It was clear the incident actually hurt the child since they cried immediately.\u201d Dr. Price says the info is extremely valuable for their studies. \u201cWe are hoping to figure out a way to teach three year olds when they should be crying and when they shouldn\u2019t. Although we are not close at this point, the video is a scientific breakthrough, which could allow rapid gains in our research.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
