Have these craying fits been going on for a year or did the recently start up again? My kids are very sensory triggered and times of year trigger memories that cause regressive behavior.

Is she really sad and crying or is she faking it for some kind of attention? It might be best to just give her a quick hug, say I'm sorry you are sad. When you are feeling better, please come help me draw pictures.

If she is truely crying sad tears and has been for a prolonged period, it might be time to consult a professional concerning depression.
