[QUOTE="Malika, post: 481848, member: 11227"] Thanks IC. Good practical suggestions as always. Yes, sensory issues... I have to say that J seems to be getting more sensitive to sensory input as he gets older. Food becoming more of an issue than it was, for example; I spent a long time on Sunday making lunch only to have him take one mouthful and start crying and refusing to swallow, saying he was going to be sick... The tooth brushing consists, I should point out, of him doing a token brush and then me doing it properly - he always protests and wants me to finish during the latter... Yes, I should renew the electric toothbrush; did have one and then it broke and I haven't renewed it. When the next pay cheque arrives :) Good ideas too, Step - thank you. I think it will appeal to J if I say "okay, because you don't like brushing teeth we are going to get you a special toothbrush, special toothpaste that you can choose". And the dental problems are of course my reason for wanting him to brush and I explained about painful fillings, etc, but it's all meaningless to him at this point. [/QUOTE]
