There's no quick "this is the way to make them pay attention and calm down". And I'm not really talking about stopping crying. Just getting them to slow down and "realize" that there OK. A lot of times all it takes is for the adult to be calm for the kid to calm down. All the running over, and grabbing, and inspecting is usually more scary then just "glancing over" and going "You ok?" Then moving slowly to inspect the situation. | |
