When a child is upset or fixated on something, shift their attention to something new. Talk about your day or point out something interesting outside. A fresh focus helps them move past the upset feeling.

Sometimes distraction is a winning strategy. If your child is upset, is perseverating on something, won't let something go, distract them. Start talking about what you did that day. Start showing them out something that's outside in the yard. Sometimes they just need something to get their mind off of it.
