[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 109612, member: 3647"] OK, here is something you may not have tried, and if you have and it didn't work, hmm... OK. You say "Sammy what do you want to eat?" He says "Puyit" while grinning. OK, I don't know what your reaction is. Try this: Say "OK, Puyit." If he starts to rage, let him. Seriously, just let it go. Go into the kitchen and make something (predetermined-try something that he has never seen before that he may like if he tried it. Maybe crackers with butter or something. But know in advance what you are going to do) If he follows you and says "No, I not hungry", fine. You got your answer. If he follows you and says "PBJ", fine. Make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If he either keeps being silly, does nothing, or rages, keep making the "puyit". Then, bring it out to him. "Here is your puyit, Sammy." IF he decides he does not want to eat it (most likely), tell him "but this is what you asked for!" keep it up. Out-silly him. He'll either give in, or call your bluff. If he does, then say "fine. More puyit for me." And eat it. Just try it. See what happens. If he is truly just being silly, he is doing it for a reaction. Surprise him and give him a reaction that he does not expect. But then you have to be willing to stick it out for the duration, and not let him wear you down. [/QUOTE]
