[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 172222, member: 84"] Not an everyday occurance, no. Although it seems to be happening more frequently of late. To explain the tears may be hard, but I'll try. Imagine you've just scared the beegeebies out of a 2 yr old. I don't see that reaction with normal repromand, even when it comes from me and "breaks her heart" cuz Nana was the one to do it. It's almost like I am suddenly there to her. Then of course I've got that Mommy Look going and am doing the Mommy Voice. And I think it scares her once she becomes aware of it. Because there is a [B]distinct[/B] startle reaction before the crying kicks in. It was that startle reaction that made me think of the possibility of seizure in the first place. That's exactly what Travis did. He'd startle (almost like waking up) and then be himself again. (with no memory of what had occured) Once she does the startle reaction part the behavior stops. Tears don't always happen, but usually do. Sometimes the dark look continues and the behavior repeats. But it does usually end with the sobbing breakdown. And each time I use the voice and the look, she startles, whether it repeats or comes to an end. You know, this is a really tough thing to attempt to describe with just words. While I'm typing I can see it so clearly in my mind, yet finding the right words to describe it is really hard. [/QUOTE]
