Toddlers often get uneasy when separated from their parents or introduced to strangers.
Between the ages of 1 and 3, your child may go through a number of anxious periods as he responds to changes in his environment or routine. As your child learns more about the world, he learns that things can go wrong. Bees can sting, playmates may take his toys, and parents sometimes leave for hours at a time. In addition, as he becomes more sensitive to what goes on around him, he may react to stresses that you don't even think he's aware of. He may have a nightmare after overhearing a fight between you and your partner, refuse to go to daycare if you're ill, or get upset if there's a substitute teacher at preschool.
