[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't listen to PPs who trained their babies like dogs: "Leave them for an hour with someone, then make it longer. It is ok if the baby is crying and is upset. S/he will get used to this" Babies come in different "shapes": some are ok with staying with strangers/in unfamiliar setting, some are not. You baby is not a dog, don't train her. [/quote] Of course babies -- people, in fact! -- are trainable. I did not post this, and am not advocating for it, but this is pretty much the exposure therapy my kid with social anxiety does, at the advice of his therapist. Start small to train your mind and body to understand there is no real danger, and then gradually increase exposure to the thing that is scaring you.[/quote]
