[QUOTE="SRL, post: 225852, member: 701"] Holidays aren't a great time to be testing the waters or engaging in the battle of the wills. When he announced he didn't like Sprite any longer, I would have just let it go or made some non-challant, impersonal comment about how our tastes in foods do sometimes change. If it started escalating, I wouldn't have put conditions on it such as his eating two bites first. You'd already let him have Sprite with supper to begin with so it's too late to put on new conditions, and certainly not prudent (Explosive Child style) when he was escalating. And yes, if you're just getting the hang of TEC I probably would have just let him have the drink back. It takes some getting used to but this is exactly the kind of evaluation process you should be doing to find out cause and effect. You're doing fine. [/QUOTE]
