RAD Consultancy is a well-established name in the field of psychological counseling. We have a dedicated group of highly qualified professionals who are specialized in dealing with various child behavior problems that mainly include Reactive attachment disorder and Oppositional defiant disorder. With an innocent heart and the desire to get pampered always, children are susceptible to certain mental disorders. It happens due to some unfavorable circumstances that impede the path of their mental progress. It is incumbent on parents to take sufficient care of their children, especially when they are infants. Children are hungry for love and affection. When parents ignore their physical as well emotional requirements, they feel disappointed. This may also make them develop a sense of detachment whereby they can avoid coming in contact with anyone and remain sad. This is the sign of Reactive attachment disorder whereby a child detaches himself from others due to the negligent behavior shown by his parents. Apart from this, one case can also pertain to his separation from his primary care giver. He might have been shifted to his secondary care giver. Unable to develop that trustworthy bond, he definitely misses the same affection he used to get from his primary care giver.

An attachment disorder renders a child incapable of establishing relationships with any person due to the fear of separation. Gradually, the disorder keeps growing and it reaches the maturity stage when the child attains the age of five.

Symptoms in babies:

• Withdrawn and sad
• Unable to express joy or happiness
• Lack of interest in playing interactive games
• Not to play with toys
• Completely quiet when alone

Symptoms in young children and teenagers:

• Avoid comforting or pampering gestures
• Exhibit aggressive behavior
• Avoid social interactions
• Unable to seek assistance
• Feel discomfort
• Showcase anger


Children with such symptoms are prone to Oppositional defiant disorder, whereby a child is disobedient to his parents or authority figures. It is usual for defiant children to argue with adults or be uncooperative sometimes. Nevertheless, it is a matter of serious concern when a child’s oppositional defiance attitude continues for a long period of time.

Symptoms of Oppositional defiant disorder in a child:

• Short-tempered
• Filled with resentment and vengefulness
• Blames others for his mistakes
• Goes against rules or instructions
• Refuses to accept adults' requests
• Deliberately annoys or miffs people
• Opposes people who try to pamper him

Such an out of control child is completely stubborn and tends to dominate everyone. Counselors at RAD Consultancy have developed a unique Oppositional defiant disorder therapy to handle the rude behavior of your child. Similar therapies are also available for RAD treatment.
