Angry outbursts and negative reactions to stress in parents and caregivers have an impact on infants and toddlers’ stress levels. In this training, we will explore stress and its impact on infants and toddlers, the causes of stress in children in daily life, in the classroom, and methods for reducing stress for children.

Comment how you limit your own stress and would that help with infants and toddlers too?

Here is mine:
I try to stay away from any stressors that I can. I try to focus on what I can control rather than cannot control. Yes, I believe that's a good thing for infants and toddlers as well.
