[QUOTE="EndangeredCheerleader, post: 579272, member: 15279"] You guys are amazing. I can not keep up. No formal Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) therapy, difficult child was given a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) diagnosis by psychiatrist. We saw a play therapist until I realised it was feeding her disorder. Other kids do see psychiatrist. They cope pretty well, mostly just roll eyes and move on. It's all they can do. Occasionally older sister will freak out on difficult child for causing drama that affects her personally. Homeschooling difficult child has helped to seperate older sister from the social effects of difficult child's compulsive lying. Birth mother hid pregnancy. difficult child was failure to thrive at adoption. 17lb. at 2.5 yrs old. We did Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory issues after adoption. difficult child is not violent, no rages or purposeful physical attacks. Mostly lies for attention, sympathy or drama. Does have a hard time controlling impulses. Lots of injuries happen when she difficult child gets excited- slams doors on others fingers, lands on them if jumping on trampoline. She will cause drama when bored for excitement - picks fight with friends/siblings on weekends. ADHD medications help to calm these behaviors. I'm in North Texas if anyone has treatment recs.
