[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 310400, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Appropriate attachment therapy is a must (nothing involving forced holding). Two books I might suggest are Parenting the Hurt Child & Parenting with Love & Logic. The love & logic works best with attachment disordered children. It's not uncommon, in fact, becoming more & more of a reality that foster children have some sort of attachment issue. The disorder ranges from attachment/adoption issues to full blown Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). First, make sure that a complete evaluation is performed along with the stress/trauma portion of the psychiatric evaluation. It's not unlikely that there was some type of physical or sexual abuse in the previous foster home. Statistically, it's a given. Like MWM, I was given little to no info on what happened to my tweedles. The damage done was more than I could imagine on my worst day. It's important to get a grip on attachment issues early. Hope this helps though it's just the tip of the iceberg. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
