Oh for sure, that's why I mentioned she didn't do it for 'real/genuine' crying. Like falling and scraping your knee, or your best friend saying they hate you, things like that she's be sympathetic to.
The situations she did that to were silly tantrums like "I want juice now, I don't want you to get it for me cause that takes time, I just want to have it now cause I should always have it!" type things. You know, the truly dumb stuff that kids do cause they don't yet understand anything.
To me it's just a way of teaching them what's worth crying over. What can be helped and what can't and all that jazz.
