i will say this, some of our foster kids, who have been away from their families for years, lose their [censored] every year around the time they were removed from the home, or around some other painful anniversary that occured before they could cognitively have understood it. trauma has serious, lasting neurological effects on children, it's actually not far out there at all for this kid to have some kind of internal pathology at work here in addition to picking up cues from those around him.

I couldn't be bothered to look at all the responses so far but trauma has serious, lasting neurological effects on children, it's actually not far out there at all for this kid to have some kind of internal pathology at work here in addition to picking up cues from those around him. I have noticed this in many of our foster kids.

Haven't read the responses, but something similar happened to my brother. Our dad died in a plane crash, and every year he pulled his hair out in a circle the size of an orange.

We just assumed he was picking up on the stress and anxiety from our mother and other family members.

I can't believe OOT has so much experience with orphan babies.

A friend of mine's cousin's hairdresser died, and every year on the anniversary an orange fell out of his head. Turns out he was reacting to the stress around him.

Hey guys has anyone considered that maybe the baby is responding to the stress levels of those around him LDO?
