Common Baby Hood Problems

At every stage of childhood when passing from one phase of development growth to another, there are a number of common problems associated. Most Unsocial Behavior in babies is demonstrated through shyness in front of strangers or grabbing toys from other infants. Although this is so common that I question whether it should be referred to as unsocial. Shyness comes from fear of the new and different; a stranger or different surroundings. Children also do this to other family members as well. Children below three years take 22 seconds to recognize & respond to a new face, even to someone who might be a part of the family but is not around him or her everyday. When we meet a baby, even after two days, they will take their time simply because their minds are still directed towards what is going on around them. However, given space and time s/he will learn to ultimately respond appropriated. The more babies see, hear and meet different people & things, the less likely they are to be shy & afraid. Shy babies should be taken to places where they can meet peoples, see things & be a part of social gatherings.
