We have 2 children with severe RAD, what works for us is a technic that our therapist taught us....

Make what the child is doing what you want. (they do not want to please)

So when he's following WAY behind you, you say....

"Thank you for not following too close, your doing just what mommy wants, I'm so glad your not right behind me."

Our therapist wrote two books that you might be interested in....

"Parenting the Hurt Child"
