Is this Frazzled Parent Syndrome or something requiring more thought?

Is there any possibility that your two children were alcohol exposed in utero? It's often hard to tell in the toddler or preschool days whether you are dealing with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) or with an intense child, but if there was alcohol exposure, it could explain some of the impulsive behaviors, the failure to understand the concept of consequences, etc. If there is FASD, once your child hits school age, the implulsiveness will be more apparent, and there may be other symptoms, such as learning difficulties Sharon
