QuestionWhat should I do when my younger sister is crying?Community AnswerFigure out what's making them cry. They could be hungry, thirsty, or need a diaper change. Find an object that comforts them, like a getting their favorite pacifier or stuffed animal. If this doesn't work, try stroking them on the back or rocking them softly back and forth to quiet them down.
