Sam,
At times my child can show some manipulative tendencies that I saw in her ASPD Father. She especially shows those tendencies when she does not get her way with me and in her anger towards her father. How can I know if my children will have ASPD, is it hereditary, or can being exposed to one in the early years of life cause children to show these tendencies. WHat are some things I can do to prevent these behaviors in kids?
thanks

I advise you strongly not to play amateur psychologist and not to pathologize your child.
