The child cries because something didn't go well for them. What do you tell them?

  • "It's okay, you'll do better next time."
  • "I sometimes get angry when something doesn't go well for me."
  • "Did you understand what you did wrong?"
  • "Crying is okay. Do you want a hug?"
  • Nothing. I will just stay with him and wait until he says something on his own.
