Believe it or not, even the youngest among us experience stress. There are the more apparent types of stress that accompany the experiences of living in poverty or being abused and/or neglected. Research has shown that responsive, sensitive caregivers are able to buffer, and even in some cases, eliminate the effects of stress. But, what about infants and toddlers who are not living under such obvious conditions? In this workshop we’ll examine the role of the parent’s behavior and care giving practices. Are some infants and toddlers more vulnerable and susceptible to stress? What variables contribute to resiliency? And, most importantly, what can child development specialist do to foster healthy outcomes?
