Q. A well-intentioned, but meddling, a relative came to visit our house the weekend before
our child's first birthday, in April. My relative cautioned me that I must be spoiling my
child, because my son hid behind my leg and clung to me when she tried to give him a hug,

Stranger anxiety can even happen when the toddler is with a caregiver in the presence of the
stranger. It is an automatic stimulus that occurs in most toddlers up to the age of 24 months.
