hi sumathi! lay a mat on the floor with toys around him and keep talking to him in between . this would make him feel yr presence around .gradually increase the time span of picking him up. u could request elders not to pick him up immediately when he cries. let him soothe himself. if he still doesnt stop crying ,u could pick him up .he would soon come around .
