A lot is going to depend on the age of your child and what kind of childcare you have. Certainly for your three weeks and anytime you are with the child after do lots of holding and make sure all food and gifts and stuff seem to come from you, so they see you as the provider. If the child can bring lunch to daycare you can instruct the day care providers to use words like "lets see what mommy sent for you to eat" etc. You also might want to try to get the daycare provider to limit hugs and such. If the child does have RAD you will want to get therapy. But make sure the therapist has experience in RAD. If it's a baby, lots of wearing and holding the baby when you are home will help.
