[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 432214, member: 11791"] How does J feel about the situation? That is another factor to consider... because the difficulty of "shifting" to a different situation may bring more problems than it solves (a common ADHD problem). If he really likes it there, you're better off trying to work around the "edges" than to move him. Try being more practical than totally honest in your dealings with others like this... the food situation? Don't relate it to being hyperactive... rather, "the doctor has suggested that J may have some food sensitivities, and would like us to try XXX - I'll provide alternatives so you don't have to go to any trouble... etc." (sometimes even if the "doctor" is "doctor Mom") I couldn't have milk as a kid - but used to go after school to friends' houses, neighbors' houses, etc. until Mom got home. She made a habit of "stocking" the freezers of my contact points with non-dairy after-school snacks... It worked better than the other two alternatives (going hungry, or eating milk products)! And the other families really respected that this stuff belonged to "me" and didn't eat it up, either. [/QUOTE]
