What you can do now: If you recognize early on that your child becomes overly distressed when someone other than you picks him up or when he has to take a bath, look for ways to make him feel secure and happy.
That could mean establishing a lovey to help him get through stressful transitions or giving him sponge baths instead of making him go into the tub.
