Overview

Parenting is challenging in the best of circumstances. Adopted and foster children with early childhood trauma require a level of parenting that often feels impossible to attain. A diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder may feel like there is no hope. At times your child may seem unlovable, unteachable and unreachable. And creating a family with these damaged children so often feels like it will never happen. This book isn't designed to have all the answers to making a perfect family with your RAD child. It is one mom's journey with her son and trying to learn, love and heal both her child and her family. Through her story you will gain insights into: How to navigate through getting your RAD child the educational environment they need to be successful. How to deal with therapists who may not have even heard of reactive attachment disorder and be a champion for your child. And while it hopefully won't ever be necessary, how to work with law enforcement, attorneys, judges and the rest of the criminal justice system. Shannon Giles gives you a first-hand account of her life with a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder. To let other parents know they are not alone in the struggles and how she has advocated for her child for over 20 years. You will see clearly how it feels to love a child with RAD and why even at the worst moments, a parent never stops fighting for their child.
