[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 382258, member: 2423"] My daughter had a similar choking phobia at age 8. It was not solved by having her sit at a table for 5 hours looking at a plate of food. That, I am sure, would have made the situation far worse. My daughter's choking phobia was solved by reducing her anxiety with medications (in her case, Zyprexa, which has been proven in a few small clinical studies to be helpful with eating disorders) and then gradually and patiently working with her to reintroduce food, starting with soft foods and then working up to harder foods. The anxiety was absolutely real. It had nothing to do with ODD or manipulation. I believe it's real with Jen's daughter as well. To treat her daughter in the manner that this hospital is, I have to believe, is cruel and harmful. I completely believe Ross Greene when he says: "Children do well when they can." Jen, someone in Maryland is thinking about you and C tonight. Hugs. I hope you are able to straighten everything out in the morning. [/QUOTE]
