Book Reviews of 99 Ways to Drive Your Child Sane
Book Review: NOT for Mentally Healthy Children - For Reactive Attachment Disorder!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think it's very important to know that this type of parenting is for children with RAD. Children with RAD are their own little islands; they have NO emotional investment in anyone or anything! They do not respond to "proper" parenting techniques. In fact, they get worse! They are so full of rage and hurt that they CANNOT think like normal children. You have to mess with their heads in order to get them to "snap out of it" for brief moments - long enough for them to feel a little love. The more you play head games that invade their rage-filled worlds, the more they feel the love that is leading the invasion. This can help them gradually feel enough love and emotional attachment for "real" parenting to work, while these "breaking in" techniques can be left to the wayside.
Of course it seems absolutely insane! It is! But, when you have an insane child, it can be necessary to play Devil's Advocate in order to help him/her. I would have burned this book before I got my RAD child, but now I understand. If your child loves you and expresses it, has empathy, remorse for wrongs done, and never purposely injures others, you probably don't need this book and won't like it. However, if your child (especially adopted or step-child!) lacks empathy, remorse, loving actions, or conscience, go to www.attachment.org and get some help! Including this book!
