Let me first say that I am very sorry to hear for Clare's problems and all your struggles to get her the proper care that you know instinctively she needs. It...
You are so spot on in what you say in your 3rd paragraph. That is exactly the position. We very much believe they are making matters worse but they of course...
Hi, Mamusia again, in our research for our daughter we have come across the following sites and hope they might be of help to you during your research and...
Hi Justine, Welcome! Sounds like you have your hands full too. Good for you for all the positive things that you are trying. Some work and then some don't and...
<<<Now, our RAD daughter will complain about EVERYTHING such as her legs, her head, etc., and that is just really to annoy or get a rile of attention. She will...
I've lost track of who is looking for published emperical support data, but want to recommend you go on the Emory University web site, Department of Psychology...
Hello, I don't know what state your are in (each state has different home school rules) but I am in Oklahoma and am currently homeschooling my 16 and 17 year...
Hey all, I find myself in a situation with my 14 year old RAD son. He's been grounded for two weeks due to disrespect/defiance. When he's grounded, I usually...
Sounds great to me, and I think you can do it!! We had some serious issues
like that going on here today too...drives ya nuts. But while the little
ones were...
My first thought is immediately take her out of care. If they aren't helping her then what good is it for her to be separated from you except that you get the...
Many thanks for this. I will see what I can find about Alec Clark. We are NOT able to take her out of care. She will be there (wherever there is) until she...
I think doing chores together is a good idea, I think it's a good idea even when it's not for discipline. I don't know about for the discipline case, but even...
I'll give you my opinion, you can take it or leave it. Therapists, professionals, etc. are of little use for "directly" helping your child with RAD. They ARE...
... We do several chores together as part of our family "keeping the house in order," and we also both have separate chores (there's just the two of us). We...
My daughter is never out of my sight! It has majorly helped with most of her behaviors. She knows she is being watched all of the time. The only room she can...
Sweet and nice, sweet and nice. Possibly the hardest part. He gets absolutely hateful sometimes as only a teenager can do, and he *will not* stop talking. I...
You know my daughter could not understand the logical part of Love and Logic either when she came to live with me. Don't worry yourself with whether or not he...
Wednesday night I took my children to their first Ash Wednesday service. During the sermon I felt as if God himself were talking directly to me. The...
You're in a game of tit for tat - he does this, you do that, he does this, you do that, you say to this, he says no, you say do this, he says no, you send him...
On specifics for disrespect/defiance, our son is 6 so what we do probably won't work. For everything he says disrespectful, he must say or write two things ...
When I use the "I am an adult" with my oldest who has some attachment issues, I get a very sarcastic and frankly rude response that I don't act like one (which...
Hey all, I don't know how to look at the success of our "time in" experiment. I mean, the fact that I'm not currently in jail for strangling my son might or...
I really enjoy reading all of your posts each day and have truly appreciated all of the "I know what it feels like" advice and sharing. I think I'm at the...
Hi, Everyone...Just looking for new info. on RAD and found this group and thought I'd join and see what insight anyone else can give me. I'm dealing with my...
Lisa, My heart goes out to you! I wish I had encouraging words. The counties(I'm sure it's the same all over) can and will do what they want with these...
Hi, Ann, I don't know what advice I can give you right now, but I'm glad you found us. If nothing else, I'm always willing to lend an ear. If you go back a...
Dear Lisa, I wish I could say something more meaningful than I'm sorry, but there doesn't seem to be anything else to say. My thoughts will be with you and...
Hi Lisa, Oh, I just hope that your boys don't go back to their bio-parents! I'm sure you are very frustrated with the system and scared for your boys. I just...
