From the Paper:

"Poor impulse control and learning difficulties are common symptoms of reactive attachment disorder, and are biologically based(Radford, 2003).
As the children enter their teen years and puberty begins there is often a surge in problems. The violence can increase and as the child becomes physically larger and stronger, the danger to those around them increases. In addition the children are often placed into institutions or new foster homes because they become so out of control and dangerous. This perpetuates the mistrust and fear of rejection that they learned as younger kids."
