Is there anyone out there that is parenting a child with RAD?

RAD is Reactive Attachment Disorder. I'm at my wits end and need to know if there are others dealing with the same issues. Thanks!Is there anyone out there that is parenting a child with RAD?
My oldest son had RAD. I can say, at least from my experience, they will out grow it. I know you want to pull your hair out, and can feel so guilty when he starts his 'fits'. But just breath. I don't remember doing anything special, it just seemed to me like one day he had calmed down somewhat. He was about 3 1/2. By the time he was 5 it seemed to be gone.


I will say that different children cope differently and will outgrow it at different ages.
