[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 88678, member: 1991"] Some people are set on a slower clock and for them, every few days is their natural schedule. In contrast, I have a book by an Aussie naturopath who says we should be having a BM after every meal. I think that's a bit over-the-top. Her argument - we take food in each meal, we should be moving things along just as frequently. And maybe for her, that is how it is, but most people pass a lot less in mass and volume than they take in. Eventually, we should find our own level and what works for us as individuals. For us, we use knowledge and information to explain WHY something is important. This means the child no longer sees US as the enemy, but whatever he is dealing with. difficult child 3 doesn't want to feel sick and have a sore tummy again, the doctor explained that he needs a lot more soluble fibre in his diet, he doesn't like psyllium (and you have to take a handful of capsules to get much benefit) so difficult child 3 himself chose the muesli option. Besides, Daddy eats muesli and difficult child 3 likes doing what Daddy does. I still have one of my medical textbooks which I use to confirm or check information, although it's getting sadly out of date. My course was identical to 2nd year medicine, plus I worked in the teaching section of the medical school. It tends to rub off a lot. I then went on to study comparative physiology, parasitology and zoology, which is why I get so enthusiastic about most wildlife (except spiders and Bogong moths). I've been really glad of the chance to use my experience to teach my kids about themselves and their environment. Marg [/QUOTE]
