[QUOTE="Fran, post: 718542, member: 3"] Hi Amity, I really understand the worry over the behavior you see and wonder how he will function further on in life. Behaviors change as growth and development happens. Hopefully, as he grows and matures there will be teaching and understanding of his behavior so that he can learn to soothe himself or cope. You will learn parenting techniques that work for your son so that all uncomfortable activities are avoided. Professional help and support services are very important. Does your son get special help in school? The school can be helpful to get referrals for testing and educational plan. There are neurological disorders that create chronic binge eating that have nothing to do with choices or control. The name escapes me at this time. You are at the early phases of diagnosing, treatment, educating and learning to parent differently that works for your son's benefit. Keep an open mind. Remind yourself that everything you do is for your son's best interest, not the schools, not the family and not even for you. Ask yourself daily, "what does my son need?". It can be uncomfortable for you because we moms, do everything to build a wall of security around our kids. It's not always the best way to help your child. It is sometimes uncomfortable and sometimes messy. You have a lot on your plate. Keep your focus on what's necessary for helping your son to be the most independent, successful child he can be.
