If you notice these are OLD posts and hence, the H1N1 vaccine would have nothing to do with them.
did your child receive H1N1 vaccination before these symptoms? my toddler has the same symptoms ever since he took the vaccination

I had thought of that because we do have anxiety and depression issues in my family, and on my husbands. It didn't seem to relate to any stress that was going on so I sort of ruled that out. She tends to express her anxiety by getting SUPER clingy, and when she does that I usually let her. We might sit together and just chat. She still is not at the point where she might verbalize what is truly bothering her but just chatting seems to help. Mommy time helps a lot. :)
Actually, the "blinking" could be a response to anxiety. If I read your post correctly, the blinking increased when she was away from the comfort and perceived safety of her home and when this behaviour was "brought to her attention". Then the blinking decreased when no one mentioned it. I am wondering if the blinking was due to mild anxiety and not as an attention-getting behaviour. If this behaviour occurs again under somewhat stressful situations (or even a change in the family routine), then anxiety might be the issue. If so, I feel the best thing is to ignore the behaviour and not mention the blinking and then try to lessen her anxiety/stress by reassurance and comforting.
