RAD behaviors to expect...?

Come over to the special needs board....Read past posts....there are experiences there that run the gamut from the mild attachment issues, to the extreme....if you think about a RAD child in the sense that attachment and intimacy and trust is PAINFUL and to be avoided at all costs.....then you take each individual child's resourcefulness into acct....then you see anything and everything can happen.It is up to each individual child and their intensity of emotions. The main issues are manipulation, stranger affection, need to cause chaos in times of peace, inability to accept or give true affection, Lying, Stealing....etc..The Manipulation is the worst....you gotta be on guard at all times not to allow them to succeed at manipulating anyone....every little sucess at getting what they want with old tools like these, delays the healing. They start to doubt whether they should abandon those behaviors, or simply try HARDER or longer and be more persistant.They learn to push your buttons to make you feel just as awful as they feel.....which is pretty awful. visit [url=http://www.radzebra.org]Home[/url]
