Preparing an Infant - Age: Birth-12 months

Fears: strangers, new places, separation from parents.

• Bring familiar toys and security objects from home.
  
  
• Incorporate your daily routines into treatment schedule.
  
  
• Provide a quiet and soothing environment during stressful events 
  (turn down lights, provide soft soothing music, and use rocking chairs).
  
  
• Prepare yourself. If you are prepared, you will be more relaxed around your infant.
