[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 573882, member: 14557"] Malika, one thing you may want to look at is theraplay. I don't know how available it is in France, but the only family I know with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids (not that J is that) did lot of it also at home, not only with therapist and I'm sure there are also books. And what I know about the type of things they did, they are so, that they can't really do damage either (basically much of it was playing with the kid in certain specific ways.) This family I know adopted their kids (siblings) from Russia when they were six and four and they had quite a lot of issues. Their older one is same age as my easy child and he is doing well now. Younger one has more problems, but they are more likely Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/being drug exposed uring the pregnancy related. She has severe ADHD, learning disabilities etc. I recently talked about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) with their mother because it comes up here so often. She said theraplay was helpful for them and so was certain parenting method they were taught to use. It was extremely sensitive and emphatic and understanding way to parent and was quite hard for parents. But for them it worked well. But she said it was very difficult to be understanding and nice and to use very positive and emphatic methods when kids did some very infuriating stuff like peeing and pooping where ever, hiding food and then it starting to smell, purposely braking things etc. And it took a long time. She said that it was close to two years kids were willing to hide only food that wouldn't rotten (even when she kept some of their favourite non-rottening snacks always available to be taken and hidden and they also had a lunch box in their rooms for rottening foods they had taken and which they together took all the old food away weekly) and many more years before they stopped it all together. So it really was a long process, but these kids were also quite damaged and experienced lots of very bad stuff. [/QUOTE]
