[QUOTE="SRL, post: 253695, member: 701"] If this just started when you moved into your new house and he started in a new school, you'll want to take a close look at how he's handling transitions in general. Those are huge changes in a child's life and some kids are wired up far better than others in their ability to handle big and even little changes. For some kids it goes beyond struggling with the transitions to that causing very real anxiety but often on the outside it just looks like any other behavioral problems. Closely watch how he transitions from one activity to another or one place to another. There are ways to make transitions easier if that does seem to be an issue. What's his speech like--any delays there, or are you hearing any advanced, adult sounding speech? Beyond the difficult behavior are you seeing any other differences such as very fussy eating habits, problems with clothes, obsessions, etc? If you've read through The Explosive Child multiple times and aren't being helped by it, it's time to branch out. Are you just starting looking for help with this? Has your son ever been through any assessments? Why don't you describe how a dinner time fuss might play out at your house and we'll see if parents here can't give you some ideas. Can't promise results but I've been through the Applesauce-Hits-the-Ceiling-And-Cereal-Bowl-Dumped-On-The-Floor School of Hard Knocks...and have lived to tell about it. :winking: [/QUOTE]
