Kelley killed one of our pets. This was no accident. She is acting out her trauma over and over. We hope that someday, with time and healing, that cycle can be broken, but we also think it’s important not to present her with opportunities to cause harm.

Our Melt-down Procedure
Kelley has what you may call tantrums, rages, melt-downs, fits, or outbursts. She is 5 now, but will still throw herself on the ground and kick and scream- sometimes for hours. When she starts one of these episodes, this is what we do.
Sleep Issues
Sleep hygiene is critical for kids from hard places, and it is crucial to limit what our kids have access to when they are night wandering, especially if they have Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD).
