It is very hard to tell what is normal behavior and what might be a PI issue. Our two boys have been home for almost 5 months now and, so far, we have seen very few, mild issues that have passed within a couple of weeks. Currently there are no issues that I would immediately declare PI issues, as everything we are seeing, I have also seen with nieces and nephews and other children. I am maintaining a "wait and see" attitude, cautiously watching and aware, but not condemning a behavior as a PI issue too quickly either. I agree.

Its hard to differentiate between "normal" toddler behavior and PI issues, but you've done a good job listing links and relevant articles.<br /> Very informative post, Lauri.

We have also seen over stimulation, food throwing issues and trouble with sound. While most of the boy's issues come and go I try to be aware of what we've seen and what hangs on. So far the only one hanging on is the rocking. I won't say I'm out of the woods on attachment, but it is looking positive.<br /> <br /> Great post.
