[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 202798, member: 1991"] Have you noticed that late evenings seem to be the worst? On the eating after cleaning teeth situations - I again find other choices. He CAN eat the food, but will need to clean his teeth again right away. Also, if he heats it (as he wants to) but has cleaned his teeth, the food will taste funny because of the toothpaste. Surely it's a better choice to wait until morning? You can still give him choice. Your concern is for his teeth, right? Well, if he understands this (and it's in his interests to) he will probably be happy to clean his teeth again afterwards. That was a good conversation you had with him, too. Another tip we got from difficult child 3's psychologist - we rewarded him for every day that was meltdown-free, with time spent playing a computer game with me - 15 minutes together, the next day. I did find fairly quickly that we had to let time accumulate a little, because sometimes a game would go for longer than 15 minutes. It did bring a lot of improvement, on top of "Explosive Child" techniques. Marg [/QUOTE]
