What Symptoms Should Be Recognized In A Child Having Seizures?
I have an 18 month old niece and yesterday after lunch, she was walking outside and just stopped and zoned out. I've learned about absence seizures in school and am worried that she may have experienced one. I was able to take a video of it and was wondering if you could give me any advice as to what I should do and also if there are any differences in a child zoning out and actually having a seizure.

zoning out depends upon frequency in clusters to diagnose as absence seizures and for 18 months it's quiet unusual of it as seizures. Best way to alleviate the stress it to send that video to an expert child neurologist and get it sorted out.
