Can you put Cbeebies on and ignore her a bit longer. (Always assuming it isn't already on ). I always found the distraction helped, that and chocolate (though I'm hesitiant to recommend that as a strategy )

Best to carry on as normal then, and let her save face. Ask if she would like a drink/biscuit or something....
