[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that he's somewhat afraid of "doing it wrong"--afraid she'll get hurt on his watch or that she'll cry. That would explain why he turns to the safety of a contraption like the stroller or playpen. The more one-on-one time that they get, the more confident he'll grow. Make sure that you're not giving him lots of warning and instructions, and that you don't criticize or swoop in when he's with her. Babies and toddlers can be baffling creatures if you've never had any exposure to them and have no idea what is developmentally appropriate. [/quote]
