take the damb thing away and give him things to do around the house and make him do what you ask before he gets it back. each day he should help you and only get restricted time to play thear are a million things to do in life let him learn at a young age give him structur and teach him how to respect his mother. play with him and dont just tell him show him.

Maybe try introducing him to some other kids his age-do you have any friends with kids around his age? Or you could try to organize a game with him, even just goof around and play around with a soccer ball. Also it could be that something is bothering him, try asking him what's wrong. If he won't tell you, pay really close attention to how he is acting, maybe ask him questions about specific subjects and see how he responds.

I think he's only crying to get what he wants. video games are like brainwashing. slowly break the habit for him or it'll be so adictive it will only get worse with time.

Well my two neices are 6 and they are the same way.
They cry and whine about everythng and everyting.
Even little things like tieing shoes
Eating
Tv
Walking
Etc.etc.etc.
You need to displine him AT TIMES and tell him its not worth crying about.
Or its ridiciouls.
At other times try and bribe him or just talk to him about him.
Give him time alone and time to vent.
Sometimes kids this age get greedy and just cry to get what they want and they need to learn everything doesn't go their way.
Hope this helped.
