Use your Counseling Individuals Through the Lifespan text to read the following:

Chapter 4, “Infancy (Birth to 24 months),” pages 71–87.
Chapter 5, “Toddlerhood (Ages 1 to 3 Years),” pages 91–114.

The purpose of this discussion is to consider the stages of attachment from birth to one year and emotional development and psychosocial crisis in infancy. Toddlerhood is marked with an array of emotions, behavior, and a search for autonomy.

Briefly discuss attachment patterns and what you see as the most significant impact on the development of attachment.
Describe strategies that caretakers can implement to promote the child’s ability to regulate emotions as he or she develops.
Considering the psychosocial crisis in toddlerhood of autonomy versus shame and doubt, explain how caregivers can encourage healthy toddler development.
Remember to appropriately cite any resources, including the textbook, that you use to support your thinking in your initial post.
