[QUOTE="navineja, post: 133526, member: 4278"] My twins had attachment issues, not severe enough to truly be classified as attachment disorder, but enough to create difficulties. I found a lot of help with the book "When Love Is Not Enough" by Nancy Thomas and on the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) websites RadKid.org and Delphi forums Reactive Attachment Disorder website (which is listed in the RadKid site). Characteristics generally include manipulative behaviors, lying, lack of conscience, lack of accepting responsibility, failure to trust anyone, defiance- there are so many! The RadKid site is very good at explaining the disorder and answering questions. It also comes in handy in helping your family and friends understand what you are dealing with, as so often these children seem perfectly normal to everyone else and others rarely believe that they act the way that they do with the parents (or just the mom). Many feel that the child must just be reacting to something that the parent is doing and if you would "just handle them differently, then everything would go smoothly". (I even had this from my husband until he truly witnessed a "meltdown!) Hope this helps. And just as a light at the end of the tunnel, my babies (almost 7 yrs old now) are doing much better and have overcome most of the issues. [/QUOTE]
