The RadKid forum is intended as a support forum for parents or caregivers of children with reactive attachment disorder who are looking to share ideas for healing their child.  Participants in this forum are parents, caregivers, therapists, students, or anyone with an interest in the subject of attachment disorder. There is no entrance exam, and qualifications are not checked.  We only ask that you are serious in your endeavor to help the child in your life that suffers from Reactive Attachment Disorder.   We, all of us, are here to provide support, not as experts or educators, but as peers. Sometimes that support consists of providing a place to safely vent, even to rant about the miserable day you're having. Here, we can tell one another of the things that have worked, and those that haven't. We give ideas, we get ideas, and we help one another.  We also don’t want to see anyone get stuck in self-blame or blame of the child.  Acknowledging that what you are doing isn’t working, and being willing to try something new is what we are all about. Raising a child with reactive attachment disorder is not an easy task. There are few if any tangible rewards at home and you are fortunate if you have anyone around you who understands what you are going through.  Here, you will find those people who truly do understand what you are living. Please participate in any of the discussions listed on the left or post your own new discussion. This message board will allow you to help keep in touch with contacts, exchange ideas, post files for discussion, and maintain a searchable archive of all conversations. Note: this board is customized for you, and read messages will not be displayed every time you enter. These messages are still accessible through the find buttons or the links on the left.
