I just have this side passion about children pyschology. Not to be a pre school teacher but more for my own knowledge which i find very beneficial in the future. Well sumtimes if we are observant enuf, we realise that what ever happen during ur childhood, it play a huge part in how you are now. Please refer below:

1. A baby's first attempts to communicate cannot be in words, but can only be nonverbal. She cannot put happy feelings into words, but she can smile. She cannot put sadness or angry feelings into words, but she can cry. If her smiles receive a response, but crying is ignored, she can receive the harmful message that she is loved and cared for only when she is happy. Children who continue to get this message through the years cannot feel truly loved and fully accepted.

- Simillar to adults. Sometimes you realise that people around you come to you only when your happy and not when ur angry or sad. This is a norm in life. Take time to observe, dont be suprise when even your close ones be this way towards you. Life is a cycle, when one was treated this way during childhood, this child will give the same reaction towards the other party.

Solution
To my best opinion, never leave a child to cry on its own or ignore thou sumtimes it is the best way to make them stop. Acknowledge thier feeling by talking to them, the least you could do is to come to them and have a small chat. This will make them feel secure and safe and for the fact they will be entertain and stop crying. However do not overdo. Learn to leave them sumtimes and then come back to them when they stop crying afterwhich tell them why u left them alone. They may have tiny brains and canoot converse with you but remember, they will understand otherwise they wont have feelings rite.....
