[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 88207, member: 3527"] Okay, as a person who went through the horrible, "my food cannot touch" problem and NEVER grew out of it, I can totally identify with your difficult child on this one. What I CANNOT do is tell you WHY it is such a big deal. I honestly can't. Even as a grown adult who is pretty logical in thinking, I honestly have NO EXPLANATION for this! The reasoning for the separate plates could be very easily explained though. Since he doesn't like his food to touch, if you give him something "juicy" or runny, then things could run together while he is eating, even if he tried to keep them separate when putting them on his plate. I have managed to get to a place where I can eat dry things on the same plate as long as they don't touch. For example, I would put a sandwich and chips on the same plate as long as they stay separated, but mashed potatoes & gravy would have to go on their own plate. [/QUOTE]
