Help is finally here!

As a parent of an adopted son at age 2, I dismissed a lot of his actions as typical boy until at age 5 when it escalated into rage and hatred toward me and my husband. We have no idea how to deal with this and what an appropriate response should be. Nancy Thomas helps to provide an appropriate response based upon what a RAD child needs with insight and humor. I will listen to the tapes again and again.

Where do I get the next cassette??

I have ordered, read, and studied RAD for 2 years, after having a daughter, adopted from Russia at age 14 who has this. This author made cassettes that were easy to listen to, funny and lighthearted at times, yet very informative. My husband, who will read nothing, even listened to them. I didn't have to nag, either! He want's to know what the dad is supposed to do with these children... the tape focuses on the mom. To follow her advice, you could not be a working mom, however. We are ready for tapes #3 and #4!

A very uplifting book for parents of children with RAD.

At last someone who validates your feelings and what you've been going through with your RAD child. A must hear, audio book for any person looking into adoption or has already adopted. Nancy takes you through steps to help build a loving relationship with your child. The book helps you to laugh, when all you want to do is cry. Nancy puts hope in a heart that has experienced hopelessness. She explains the loss felt by the child when the maternal-child bond is broken. She explains the childs intense rage. Most of all she lets you know that there is hope. It's not easy, it's a long hard fight, but to see the promise that you know was in your child start to unfold is worth it. Nancys no nonsense approach has helped me to connect with my adopted son. A dream that I was beginning to beleive I'd never experience.
