Manipulation, Terrorizing Animals, Fire setting

These are just a few of the signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), a rare but serious condition. It's diagnosis, not recognized by all professionals, and treatment is controversial.

Today on The Parent's Plate radio show, my guest Dr. Ron Huxley of The Parenting Toolbox uncovers some of the attachment issues kids may struggle with and the most extreme, RAD. He'll explain why attachment issues can destroy a parent/child relationship or set up lifelong problems for a child.
