Our daughter was a 28 wk preemie. She weighed 2 lbs 9 oz and spent the first four mo. in the hospital. Because of this beginning she has mild attachment issues, but otherwise is remarkedly healthy.

My question is about school. She is a January baby, but if you count back she really wasn't supposed to be born until April I think. Even though she is older than some of the other students in her class she is a bit immature and lags behind, often displaying some needy behaviors. I am confused as to what category to put this in. Is it because she is my youngest?? Is it because of the mild attachment issues and tied to adoption?? Is it just her normal personality and would happen reguardless?? OR do children who were born prematurely develop at the stage they were supposed to be born if it had been a full term pregnancy and she may just be 3 mo. behind and be a young kindergartner??
