Even if you parented them exactly the same, a child with RAD would think it was unfair. If you do not parent them differently, your four year old will not heal. If you're using Nancy Thomas(which I love), I would reccommend also reading the book she wrote with her daughters-Dandelion on my Pillow, Butcher Knife beneath. I think the more nurturing side of the parenting is brought out better in that book. Just my opinion. I would also incorperate a lot of reparenting techniques with a child as young as four. With a good therapist and the right parenting, she has the potential to heal quickly. She needs a loving, strong mom and good structure.
