You do learn these things slowly as you parent a RAD child, how I wish there had been a 'to do' list like this when my first one came home. A lot of the items you list are not instinctive, how much better for the child and the parent if mom and dad know what to do from day one.<br /> <br /> This list is also golden for older children. Age regression can be really shocking when a 12 year old starts to act as a 4 year old. Knowing what it is and that it is ok and needed makes it easy to go through and reassuring, your child is making progress. <br /> <br /> I don't know if it is permitted, but if you can, it would be great if you could run this every three months or so. I think attachment issues are the toughest part of adoption.<br /> <br /> Great work. John Erin, this is a great post.

Great work. John
