I am the oldest child and I have 4 younger sister with a single mom. In a way I had to help raise them...
I remember when I use to babysit my one sister when he was about 2 or 3 and she would just cry and cry when my mom left until you put on her favourite movie. The Lion King. As soon as she heard the music she would shut up and sit still and watch the movie. There was no substitute, I tried other movies, toys, snacks, treats, etc.
Like other people said the only thing you can do is give them what they want and they will eventually grow out of it. Little kids can be pretty persistent when they get hooked on something.
