OT Odd question about behaviors

[Guest guest]

I have an odd question.....how do we know when we are getting

somewhere and not running into personality?

I have lots of kiddos at many different ages...and this is a question

that I get from them on a regular basis as well as some adults. I

honestly don't know what to say....

Are all bad behavior issues metals or vit defiencey or virus? I am

not trying to start a issue here...just wondering....sometimes a

couple of my kids are really terrible...and people ask how do I know

it isn't just the personality...esp the adopted ones.

I do understand that these things we are doing do make a lot of

differences...and that is why I continue....but sometimes I get into

this situation and I just don't know what to say....esp when the

issue is so strong...ie self centeredness or selfishness...people

can't believe that we have done all the interventions and still

seeing this so strongly...and I have to admit it is discouraging at

times....any input here?

Thanks
