We may be taking 2 foster children, girls ages 3 and 4. The 3 year old has behavior problems:tantrums, occassional self harming, hyper, defiance, etc. The foster mom thinks she is bi-polar. The psychiatrist disagrees and things some of the problems are coming from the home she is in (they have 3 bio kids and 6 foster kids in the home, the girls go to preschool and daycare so not home much and not much attention at home, foster parents want boys) Well this just doesn't sound like bi-polar to me because the foster mom says they were having problems for a while but no problems right now. If she was bi-polar she wouldn't just get better would she?? The bio dad is bi-polar, bio mom has drug issues. So anyway those of you who have bi-polar kids what do you think?
