Anyway, just wanted to make sure we showed a little respect to this day and those who have put their lives on the line for us in the past. Have a nice day and check back soon.

Most children in the system have attachment problems, but few actually have a RAD diagnosis. Attachment is a learned behavior. Children with RAD need very specific counseling to overcome it and often also require residential or psychiatric care. Most such strategies are in the process of being evaluated. Mainstream practitioners and theorists have presented significant criticism of the diagnosis and treatment of alleged reactive attachment disorder or attachment disorder within the complementary and alternative medicine field commonly known as attachment therapy.

One of most common questions asked is “How can we motivate our child to have interest in other activities?” There is no simple answer to this question. Parents spend a great deal of time and energy trying to figure out how to motivate their children. They use the carrot and stick approach. When the carrot doesn’t work, they get out the stick. Parental influence based on lectures, demands, punishment, or incentives can be deceiving. Your child may appear to be doing better, but problems occur when the outside motivator is removed. You cannot change your child’s mind through external motivation. All outside motivation is temporary. You cannot be with your child forever; he eventually will go off on his own.

Your job as a parent is to prepare your child for the real world. If your child is not internally motivated, he is left no choice but to find another external motivator or flounder. If you control, enable, or rescue your child, don’t expect him to be responsible as a young adult. Self-accountability is a skill that needs to be developed long before leaving home. This might explain why a disturbing number of college freshmen who go away to school don’t make it past the first year. They do not possess the self-discipline and inner drive necessary to succeed independently.

You cannot motivate your child, but you can do the things that will improve his attitude and self-motivation. To learn more about Reactive Attachment Disorder please visit www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_attachment_disorder

Thanks for reading.

For users who have automatic updates enabled, the patch will download automatically via Windows Update. For those who don’t, Microsoft recommends they install the patch as soon as possible. It’s a good idea after installing the patch to make sure your anti-malware software is updated and then to run a full scan on your system, just to make sure nothing sneaked in while you were unpatched. Read the full story here.

So this is just a quick reminder to those who may not have done so in awhile, Backup Your Files. If you have a portable hard drive or a usb flash drive then that is the perfect place to put your backups. You really don’t want to just save them to your computer hard drive, Lord knows your computer might crash all together and you would lose everything.

Anyway, just thought I’d post this to remind myself and others to Backup Your Files, if possible try to do this every few days or so. If you write alot of blog post then I recommend doing it every day before you go to bed, you would hate to have to rewrite a few days worth of articles, unless they get cached as soon as you publish, if that is the case then it would just be a copy and paste then republish.

As always, thanks for reading, and don’t forget to Backup Your Files.
