Thank you so much for all the reply posts. I can't tell you how much they helped. My wife and I read them together and discussed them. It sure helps a...

I've found much the same with my teen. If I don't make a list, he can't seem to organize himself. Sometimes I even break down the instructions into small...
I keep cross stitch at the table to work on while doing school work or spare coloring/ table time. This way I can calmly say ' When I'm finished with this row...
I don't always stay calm but the more I do the better things are. It bugs them if they can't get me going...........that seems to be their purpose in life ...
Actually I was taught when your child is tantruming you should never offer support to the child. They can earn getting tucked in and hugs and kisses when they...
I'm just wondering if any of you know if there are/will be little ones who've been displaced by Katrina. An event of that magnitude will surely have created...
If you find out, please post. We sure would help. Lori ... From: Stephan Koch To: HopeForADKids@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 11:05 AM ...
I haven't heard anything - but suggest you call or go on line to the news (CNN or MSNBC) or call the mayor's office in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, or call...
Dad one more time, We do a little of the holding therapy. Basically for us is more of a snuggle time -- if that makes any sense. sometimes we watch a calm...
There is holding therapy and snuggle time. Two of which are very different. Holding therapy is very controversial and is supposed to be done only by a ...

I agree. It is all very confusing. Obviously there isn't one trick that works for all of our RAD kids or we wouldn't be perplexed with such issues. I am ...
Yeah, i agree, our parenting styles need to be flexible and meet the child where they are at. I've discovered that with my fd, though things have gotten much,...
How about tell the Big Brother to grow up and get a life, invite the neighbor over to drive over the radio controlled car, leave cousin home watching son,...
I can't help but to telll you the truth, you caused some of this by not letting go and give some direction. Your son's Big Brother played golf and then...
Mine have gotten to where they are by patience and not discussing what happened to them, unless they start the conversation. My oldest one says she can't tell...
Thanks for the advice. I did end up putting the Big Brother to work and that helped. He has adult ADD so lists don't work - the one direction at a time did...
How long a time for emergency housing? A month? Providing housing for Katrina orphans also crossed my mind. :-) While my heart is in the right place, my head...
I've come to much the same conclusion after thinking about taking in a family. My kid is more than a handful and it would be destructive to any progress we...
i feel much the same way. We'd love to be able to take in an infant or a less-than-two-year-old, but our current Radishes are so close to being adopted, i...
