Nothing. The worst thing you can do is try to pacify the child by offering them something, like a treat or an toy, because this will only reinforce the behavior and make it more likely that they will cry in other situations as well. You should just let the child feel the emotions they're feeling and give them whatever space they need until they are ready to continue on their way.
