Totally been in your shoes. had a child that seemed he had an "emotional disconnect" just didn't respond the way the average child does, never let me hug him or get close. If I rubbed his back he would almost cringe. Made it VERY hard to get close to him, had him for over 4 years. Just a different personality. Sweet kid, but after 4 years, I still had a "dis-connect" with him. Other children..I have experienced the same type issue, however, it always seems to work out. I just hit a day when I all of a sudden fell that love, whether its a cute smile they give me or maybe something happens they get hurt and have to give their trust to me in way of a hold or hug and everything changes. Makes me wonder if it has to do with a "tight" or "overprotective" relationship with their Mommy, not letting them or giving them the "desire" to trust or give that "special" love to another person.? not sure, but give it time.....it should come around. That is the ONE really hard aspect of this job I always tell "outsiders", the un-conditional love is not instant like with your own children it has to develope over time. That means we need to dig down deep when it comes to tolerance of these "wonderful" little people.
