He either is overtired or does not get his way. His parents were also told to blow in his face when it happens and it would remind his body to breathe and bring him to more quickly.

A funny story about that method is that you count and if your child reaches 3 they suffer a consequence. Years ago, i was at a playdate and I had a mother tell me how amazed she was that my son always responded by the time I got to 3. Before I could answer, she told me that she had gotten as high as 19 with her child and he still wouldn't do what she had asked!!! Obviously the idea of 1,2,3 went over her head, I still laugh every time I think of that story!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336658131828479753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-35901054668700562382011-08-15T22:28:33.327-07:002011-08-15T22:28:33.327-07:00My nephew has this condition also and it seems to ...My nephew has this condition also and it seems to happen for the same reasons as Claire.

His hands curl up, he can't talk and it's awful to watch. It takes him a while to "come to" fully and he's generally upset for ages.<br />I have found if we can stop him before it gets bad we just move onto hard crying. The doctor said to me to try and "shock" him into breathing by blowing sharply on his face. I grab him and tell him "breathe" while doing it.<br />To be honest it works some of the time and not all the time.<br />I was also told he'll grow out of it and it's not dangerous.<br />Standing with you in prayer!Sammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196141425469259485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-13607489828469904212011-08-01T16:17:54.433-07:002011-08-01T16:17:54.433-07:00praying praying praying!

Praying she grows out of it very soon!<br /><br />I had a fellow classmate that was in Kindergarten and first grade with me that did this whenever he got in trouble by the teacher. I remember the teacher talking to all of us separately telling us that (and I'm guessing this came via his parents... I hope?!) the best way for all of us to handle it was to not make a big fuss over him when he did it. I only remember it happening a handful of times, and it was handled quickly and class resumed as normal. I do not remember it happening after those early years of elementary school, and I knew him all through middle and high school. So I'm guessing he did grow out of it.Tealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178675291321116801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-29932936251754841312011-08-01T14:50:25.921-07:002011-08-01T14:50:25.921-07:00This is such a tough situation.

I pray that she grows out of it quickly and that in the meantime you have the wisdom and discernment on how to discipline her as needed minus the passing out.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554921225557586137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-18261981973392209812011-08-01T11:52:23.375-07:002011-08-01T11:52:23.375-07:00Oh my goodness...

When she gets really upset, especially when she's overly tired, her body goes limp and she passes out. Unfortunately, there's no way to reason with her yet as she's only 11 months old and sometimes cries to that extent just because. It's really scary. Wish I had some advice for you!
