[QUOTE="ksm, post: 583346, member: 12511"] Just found this information that fits my difficult child to a T. [I]Parents of children with FASD report that they have difficulty with healthy bonding and attachment. The children seem to form social attachments quickly, and break them just as easily. They tend to be inappropriately friendly and do not have a good sense of stranger danger. It has been assumed in the field of social sciences that attachment disorders result primarily from poor parenting and lack of proper bonding in the early months of a childs life outside the womb (Bowlby, 1980; Rutter & OConnor, 1999). However, deficits in attachment behavior are seen in both alcohol-exposed humans and animals, suggesting that these changes are primarily the result of the prenatal exposure to alcohol rather than maternal behavior (Kelly et al., 2000). It took many years for John and I to form a health parent-child bond, in spite of his growing up from infancy in our nurturing, stable family. John will bond quickly and easily to an interesting stranger, although the attachment is superficial. This places John at risk of becoming involved in unhealthy relationships or being drawn into high-risk groups. [/I] I have seen difficult child actually cry after spending the day with a "new friend" that maybe we met on vacation and knowing that she wouldn't see that person again. She can spend a few hours with someone and announce that they are BFF's. She never knew a stranger even as a young child. I have seen her in a doctor's office grab a story book and try to climb up on someone's lap and want them to read to her. Just so not ready for the next few years. I know we got to start thinking ahead to birth control. I keep hoping that her boyfriend will find another victim. KSM [/QUOTE]
