[QUOTE="Malika, post: 434497, member: 11227"] Yes, I'm afraid that pattern of persistent wanting and whining, amd sometimes tantrums when he doesn't get the desired object, also sounds horribly familiar to me, too... To be honest, I think it'd be much worse with my son if we were around an environment where he was seeing and being exposed to temptation all the time - but you obviously can't move to a rural village... And anyway there are always things to be desired that cannot be given (playing outside late in the evening), wherever you are. I am wondering myself what, if any, additives and sugary stuff play in my son's behaviour. This is something to be instantly filed in the Easier Said Than Done folder, of course, but would you be able to experiment with this, see what effect it has on him if you give no "junk" foods or additives for a couple of weeks... and then you have to deal with your son's whining and tantrums because he wants it, I realise. Mind you, you never know... I have explained to my son that there are things in certain foods (additives) that are not good for him and make him sick and he just accepts this, does not make a fuss when something is refused. And then... the whole negotiation approach. I am often not skilled enough or patient enough IN THE MOMENT to apply the "Explosive Child" techniques, but when I do I get good results. I also find, as you doubtless do, that I get into real trouble when things are not explained or announced ahead of time. And if I say we are going to do something we HAVE to do it. He is never going to forget... Routine helps, of course. I also wonder about stimulation overload with these children?? Just a couple of ideas... Hugs. [/QUOTE]
