If you need a minute, put them down somewhere safe, and take that minute. Sometimes the crying gets to you, and that’s OK too.
I second this. "Self soothing" is an incredibly important, yet often criminally underrated, skill. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin to hear my kids crying, but if they are in a timeout or it's simply bedtime, I have to hold my ground and let them "cry it out".
I hate it so much.
