While your baby loves your attention, getting to know strangers is a whole other ballgame, especially when it comes to their first time alone with someone new. It helps to have a strategy in place, and this video shows how babies prefer a “gently-does-it” approach to their first interactions with new people and provides invaluable, effective parenting tips on reducing stranger anxiety. You’ll also get a child’s perspective of how babies build mental “images” of themselves and become more confident, as well as insight into how babies learn to recognize expressions and moods, especially yours. This insight helps you help your child grow into a person with a healthy self-image who feels comfortable around new people.
