[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 400176, member: 1872"] NJDad, how you holdin' up? As the mom of two adopted kids with attachment issues (in the context of early trauma), your son's surgery as an infant pops out as a big red flag. The stress of the surgery in the first week of his life, right out of the womb, counts as early trauma which can establish a neurological pattern of fear/hyper-arousal in the brain. I've read a lot about trauma -- I'll try to find some good, simple links for you. Your son is young and is brain is "plastic." Neuroplasticity is a hot topic these days and new neural pathways can be established. Let me clarify that I'm no expert and I may be all wet. Just some things to think about. Jo [/QUOTE]
