That is pretty much exactly what I'd have said.

As long as you aren't suddenly demanding that your six year old actually be seven or eight years old, like his new academic peers, then teaching coping skills is probably fine.

I'm guessing that you could turn this around, too, and ask if there are other 7 yo boys that cry occasionally at school. Sensitive children are.... more sensitive than their peers. Personally, I think that just is, and it isn't necessarily a sign of immaturity. There are real MEN who cry, too, and I know plenty of women who are pretty much their own waterworks. <raises hand>
