Our RAD daughter seemed well regulated (And I really believe she was during that time)...<br /><br />However, "red flags" started going up after she returned from her only college semester out of state... <br /><br />One big red flag was that she began frequently talking about how much fun it was to make babies cry. <br /><br />The first time or two she mentioned it we really thought she was just joking... but as she'd go on, she'd talk about "little kids, ESPECIALLY the ones who can't talk" and how she LOVED to make scary faces at them to make them cry... any time their parents looked away etc. <br /><br />She couldn't believe we all didn't find the "harmless fun" in that pastime. <br /><br />We couldn't believe she REALLY thought that was a cool thing to do. <br /><br />It is so easy for me to tally her red flags in hindsight... after her meltdown! <br /><br />The foster family she was with for 3 months before joining our family had LOTS of pets... of ALL kinds including two HUGE great danes. <br /><br />We had dogs, but she always said she didn't like them... and appeared to leave them alone. <br /><br />I have a HS grad pic of her and I encouraged her to pose with our dog... it was comical how far away she insisted on staying for the photo. <br /><br />Later her friends asked her to dog sit... she said "sure I LOVE dogs!" They explained two of their dog menagerie would want to sleep in bed with her... "Great! No problem! I'll sleep with the dogs!" <br /><br />I suggested she be upright with these people about the fact she doesn't like dogs, that she doesn't even like to pet our dog... God knows what story she told them...<br /><br />RAD gives her the uncanny ability to become all things to all people... for them she was a dog lover, and dog sitter extraordinaire!Hedged in Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814058774756857724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-8245907261621663712011-06-13T16:45:21.432-07:002011-06-13T16:45:21.432-07:00good idea!good idea!:)Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125871958221599655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-80285896220895098482011-06-13T06:15:22.253-07:002011-06-13T06:15:22.253-07:00What good thinking!
