User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Very informative and easy to read.
I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting to the very last page. It is easy to read with no hard to follow medical jargon. Just full of useful and easy to implement ideas on how to raise a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder. We have already followed quite a few of the ideas and can see the difference already - especially with the ‘pizazz’ concept. This is a heartbreaking disorder and one which the child suffering from it deserves to be free of. We as adults owe it to our children to make this change for them.
4 Stars Thanks from my sister
My sister has found great knowledge in this book, along with powerful techniques that do work for her child.
5 Stars It worked a miracle of healing!
When we first adopted our 11-year old daughter, almost five years ago, I had to ask God what He was trying to do to me in giving me a child that was so all-consuming. With an extensive ministry living in a tribal community overseas, I felt pulled to complete distraction. Having successfully raised 4 birth children, we found this child nothing like any we’d raised; none of the techniques we had used worked. When home on furlough after four months of ‘living hell’ I ran across this book lying on a friend’s table. It has become our ‘purple RAD bible’ ever since. It immediately gave us hope, but after starting to use the guidelines and techniques suggested in the book, we found that it really worked!! When our 11-year old came into our home, she was emotionally about 5 or 6 years old. Today, she is almost 16 and emotionally 14 or 15 and that without the acting out that many ‘normal’ teenagers go through. Thank you Nancy!! Thanks, God!!
4 Stars Excellent Resource!
The book came bent and that is why it has 4 out of 5 stars instead of all 5.
It is a great resource for parents and others with adopted and/or foster kids. I wish I had this book 3 years ago.
5 Stars Excellent read.
If you are dealing with a child that has reactive attachment disorder this is
an excellent guide to help you. It gives several ideas for different behaviors
and how to deal with them. I highly recommend it.
