[QUOTE="Malika, post: 519232, member: 11227"] Thank you for the useful suggestions. Funnily enough, IC, I decided to try French toast (that's what the British call it - it doesn't exist in France :)) with J last night for the first time. He sniffed it carefully, as he does with all new foods and then started groaning about it... on my urging, he ate a slice or so, with ketchup, but then no more. This morning he ate a whole boiled egg (he'll eat a whole egg, no problem) with a piece of toast and Marmite. Do any of you know what that is, I wonder?? Great British invention. I am thinking I will get him to eat an egg every morning, make it a new routine. At school they give them something small to eat mid-morning. Yes, perhaps I am confused about what it means to be a "difficult child". Maybe I have some preconception that difficult children are difficult almost all the time. When I say that J is a easy child sometimes, though, I don't just mean that he is not raging or being oppositional - I mean that he is often eager to please, helpful, co-operative. So this is what I find confusing. I think it is probably quite right that I have to just get it into my mind that he IS unpredictable and that certain triggers - like being hungry, say - will set him off more than a typical child. Getting stressed with his rages just isn't good for either of us. I really do need some plan of action for these kind of occasions. PS - no law about helmet wearing here, though the majority of kids seem to wear one. [/QUOTE]
