[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 24072, member: 2005"] My opinion is that probably isn't the case. I do believe that holding and rocking infants helps brain developement, and I believe that trauma can effect that developement even in utero. But I think we all do a kind of dance with our infant/toddlers where we respond to their likes and dislikes and they respond to ours. I guess there can be a bad fit were the baby doesn't like the stimulation and yet they can't escape it, but in general I think they would let you know it was too much by being difficult and you would modify your lifestyle to keep the peace. I clearly remember an outing to a toddler amusement park I took my difficult child to. We were accompanied by children with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and disassociative disorder, severe brain damage, and downs syndrome. Guess who was just awful, my 3 yo kid of course. He couldn't handle the stimulation. He almost had a melt down when his cousin tried to hug him, I spent 20 minutes getting him in 4" of water and another 30 mins getting him out. He was miserable and so was I.Needless to say he didn't go back to a theme park for some time and then it was close to home and for limited amounts of time. If your son was effected negatively by your outings I think he would have let you know. [/QUOTE]
