[tri-med] Re: Occ Therapy ?...can you teach these kids to stop throwing things?

I've come to the conclusion that Tess is only truly "happy" whatever 
I'm trying to do, if she has my un divided attention. I think she 
see's some toys as me palming her off, sort of, if you get what I 
mean. Susan is right as well about it being frustration or boredom 
with not getting their message across.
