CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Introduce strangers first at home, if possible. Home is where your child feels most comfortable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wear baby facing outward in their carrier (once it is safe to do so) to allow them to become accustomed to seeing new and unfamiliar faces and you can model warm, comfortable interactions with strangers. You can also allow others to hold, play with, and care for your young baby as long as you are comfortable doing so.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tips for Dealing with Stranger Anxiety To soothe your baby’s fears and minimize bad reactions, gently introduce her to new people.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stranger anxiety is manifested by crying when an unfamiliar person approaches. It is normal when it starts at about 8 to 9 months and usually abates by age 2 years. Stranger anxiety is linked with the infant’s developmental task of distinguishing the familiar from the unfamiliar.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stranger anxiety in babies By the time they’re 6 months old, babies begin to know whether someone is a stranger, and by 9 months, little ones may be afraid of strangers or clingy with caregivers.
