cimmerian6--Holding time and the kicking methods are both only one method of treating attachment disorders. They are also both considered somewhat controversial and not accepted in many states....so you are correct these methods may or may not help as much as we the parents wish they might....
I am interested in what you think would help more?
Many of us with YOUNG toddlers are learning to use the jumping and short bursts of positive action with our little ones to help overcome the sensory intigration issues assumed related to drug exposure and finding it is helpful--I do like your connection to the physical implications of the kicking issue...My understanding (as we have not used this method for attahcment) is that the kicking is to release Anger... which apparently requires an angry movement--I had not thought of the physical issue here and maybe that would be the same effect or maybe not...
