当你的宝宝开始觉察到你并不是总在他身边,他就开始有了焦虑的体验在孩子生命最初的7个月里,你将替他做任何一件事情。这使得你的宝宝以为你和他其实是一个人。但是,当他再大一些,他就能意识到他的独立性,了解到当你不在房间的时候,他就无法享受你的温暖和安慰。这意味着你的宝宝正在逐渐掌握“物体恒久性”的慨念。即使当他不能看见这些物体或者人,但他们还是存在的。这个时候他会出现两种正常的焦虑:一种是害怕陌生人,一种是害怕和你分离。 He begins to have an anxious experience as your baby begins to perceive that you are not always there. During the first seven months of your child’s life, you will do anything for him. This makes your baby think you and he are actually a person. However, when he is older, he realizes his independence and understands that he can not enjoy your warmth and comfort when you are out of the room. This means your baby is gradually grasping the concept of “object permanence.” Even when he can not see these objects or people, but they still exist. There are two kinds of normal anxiety he will have at this time: one is fear of strangers and the other is afraid of separation from you.
