A parent asks the nurse "at what age do most infants begin to fear strangers?" The nurse should give which response?
a. 2 months
b. 4 months
c. 6 months
d. 12 months
ANS: C
Between ages 6 and 8 months, fear of strangers and stranger anxiety become prominent and are related to the infant's ability to discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar people. At 2 months, infants are just beginning to respond differentially to the mother. At age 4 months, the infant is beginning the process of separation-individuation when the infant begins to recognize self and mother as separate beings. Twelve months is too late and requires referral for evaluation if the child does not fear strangers at this age.
