[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 433630, member: 1991"] As I said on another thread, it can also be more than just artificial additives. They are one category of possible food sensitivity; there are others, more insidious but still possible to work out. On the tantrum angle - you would need to assess this method with your child in mind, but humour can help. As long as the child does not feel like HE is the one being laughed at. For example: kid throwing clothes at the fan. Parent says to stop. Kid then says, "You're mean, you never let me do anything that's fun!" Parent: So it's a fun game to throw clothes at the fan and risk them getting ripped to shreds? What are the rules of the game? When do you know if you've won? What would you tell people when they ask why your clothes are shredded? Can you imagine their reaction when you try to convince them it was the fan? There are much better games, a lot more fun and a lot less destructive to your image." It's a matter of changing the thought processes from obsessing and catastrophising over being told "no", to one of "what if" and following the possible outcomes to the weirdest conclusions. It can break the cycle of negative/obsessive thought patterns. Marg [/QUOTE]
