Additional Symptoms of an Attachment Problem Parents of babies and toddlers have noted several symptoms of attachment problems in addition to those found on Dr. Buenning's infant list. As the child grows, some signs may disappear, only to be replaced by others. Many of the following symptoms can be found on checklists developed by other attachment therapists.
Note: just a few of these symptoms may indicate a problem. Please consult with an attachment therapist if you have concerns about your child.

Examples are coded by age at adoption (a. ___months old) and by the child's primary pre-adoptive care (FC=foster care, OR=orphanage.)
