I disagree with this. All of this is essential, but it doesn't cure mental illness. Thats like saying that love and persistence cure cancer. Nope.
My daughter was very tiny for her age, but I'd say around age 9, she got too strong during a rage for me to restrain her. A raging child is quite a force to be reckoned with.
Learn all you can about attachment. Find a good attachment therapist. Therapy will be hard on both you and her.
If you feel that you can do, then go for it.
