Infants and toddlers experience a range of fears in early childhood that are expected and part of
their development. Fears can be triggered by a range of stimuli, such as, novel environments,
loud noises, strangers, separation from caregivers, or even fears of going down the tub drain.
This presentation will focus on using an attachment-oriented lens to explore how caregivers are
key for co-regulation and security. Prevention strategies will be explored that involve providing
routine and comfort while helping to scaffold approach behaviors and model effective coping
that can support security and sense of capability. Participants will gain an understanding of how
caregiving practices and play can be used to prevent fear and anxiety from inhibiting growth and
create opportunities for developing capability and resilience. This presentation is appropriate for
those working to support young children and families or for caregivers themselves.
