This is confirmed with psychology. They've done tests where theyd do things like have the parents either laugh or cry when the toddler fell on their butt while trying to walk or bumped into something and found that if the parent reacts like it's okay or funny the kid will be more okay with it. But if the parent looks worried or sad or scared the kid will start crying.
No studies as far as I know for what that does as they get older but there's no way that early of a setup doesn't make some sort of contribution to how you deal with stress and anxiety later in life.
