She was in a really good home for the formative years and never deprived of food or treats yet this is one of our huge problems. Just about had the snot in charge of Sp Ed threaten to call CPS because the school was giving her so much junk food that she refused to do anything at home because "She could get better treats and rewards in school." I finally had a psychologist recommend no junk food and I wrote a letter explaining why she can't have junk food and that was when I nearly got in trouble for my letter of "hatred" towards my Daughter. Fortunately for me it backfired and her Dr. now see's why I want her moved to a different school.michelema2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13997234560611879582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498912588295582610.post-8664219600748467272011-08-07T14:45:07.216-07:002011-08-07T14:45:07.216-07:00The Day treatment is year round and is a collabora...The Day treatment is year round and is a collaboration between the school district, the hospital, and county mental health, so everything is spelled out in an IEP and they are definitely used to dealing with RADs at this center. In fact it seems most of their kids are either RADs or just plain have serious anger issues.CrazySFDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026549790678774080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498912588295582610.post-47589493523125280542011-08-07T12:27:11.645-07:002011-08-07T12:27:11.645-07:00Is the day treatment center just for summers?

When we first got him, if I did "win" a confrontation and get him to eat - he would simply vomit it all 1 minute later. Didn't take me long to realize this wasn't "normal adjustment stuff" like the social worker told us. Almost every RAD parent I talk to seems to struggle with food issues in one form or another. It is so sad what they went through to make them have these issues.Raindancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360992872336261373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498912588295582610.post-15561140003831254332011-06-27T10:12:15.338-07:002011-06-27T10:12:15.338-07:00Food issues are really big with our kids.

My daughter has the opposite problem and she also likes her sweets as your daughter does. The long term impact of food deprivation as a child are so sad to see in our kids :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
