If you are struggling to parent a child with reactive attachment disorder (RAD), this is the resource you need. No platitudes or false hopes here, only practical suggestions that actually work!

Understand developmental trauma and reactive attachment disorder (RAD). Learn tips and tricks to help you to navigate "the system". Get resource recommendations that will provide a way forward. Adopting or fostering a child with reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is beyond challenging. They may have violent outbursts, engage in outlandish behavior like lying, stealing, playing with feces, and hoarding food. With histories of early childhood trauma, kids with RAD too often break even the most loving of caregivers. Many parents of these children feel utterly isolated as family, friends, and professionals minimize the struggles.

Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD): The Essential Guide for Parents comes from a parent who’s in the trenches with you. Keri has lived the journey of raising a son with RAD and has navigated the mental health system for over a decade.

Within the first five minutes of this book, I was in tears. As the author described her sons behavior, it was like she was describing MY son, right down to mental health hospitalizations, group homes, tearing down doors, respite foster care, and even lying to his teacher saying I didn’t give him lunch.

Happy to hear I’m not alone

I do not in any way doubt this mother's story. RAD is so hard on parents. One caveat is that she blames therapists and "the system" for things beyond any therapist's control. At times she comes across as bitter, which is understandable given her traumatic experience. Therapist's are not able to heal everything, any more than a surgeon or doctor.

Way to add to the stigma of children in foster care. I only could read the first hour. The mother wrote this book for attention not for education.

Terrible
