It would have been interesting to find out what their definition of attachment was, huh? Thanks for the tips!!

Consistency is really important with attachment issues. Keep up the good work. It takes a long time and just when you think you're all set, they do something that makes you feel like you're going backward. When I get frustrated I try to remember where my daughter came from and her hardships. That helps when she's bouncing off the walls! Take care.
