It is better to say any of the following phrases.

"I understand you"

This simple phrase has an incredible effect: it helps a parent establish contact with a crying child.

The baby sees that mom and dad do not ignore him. And even support him in some ways.

"I will help"

The child will begin to perceive the current situation more easily if he understands that his parents are ready to help him.

"Don't be afraid: you are safe"

This phrase will help convince the baby that he is not in any danger.

The replica is effective if the child is afraid of something insignificant.

"Let's try to find a way out of this situation"

Let your child know that you are ready not only to help, but also to give him the opportunity to take part in solving the problem.

"Let's take a break"

If the baby cried due to physical or psychological fatigue, then this phrase will come in very handy.
