Many people do not fully understand Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), which leads to negative beliefs (stigma) about the condition, because of these misunderstandings, children may not get the help they need, adults who experienced RAD may experience healthy relationships and parent, guardians and caregivers may feel judged instead of supported. 1. Stigmas About Children with RAD - Children with RAD Are Dangerous - They Can't Be Helped or Fixed - They Don't Feel Love 2. Stigmas About Parents & Caregivers - Bad Parenting Causes RAD - Parents Just Need to Try Harder - Adoptive Parents Regret Their Choice 3. Stigmas About RAD in Adults - Adults Who Had RAD Can't Have Healthy Relationships" - They Are Emotionally Cold or Unfixable Most children, even sometimes adults are not bad, they have been hurt and don't know how to trust yet. Bad parenting is not the only cause of RAD either, RAD also happens when a child doesn't get consistent care (medical and others). People who experienced RAD can have healthy, close and loving relationships with support. WeDey4U 💚
