[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 431618, member: 11847"] She made very few suggestions yet. We always have pb with food though... I would ask the kids if they want a snack and difficult child tells me know. I ask him 2 or 3 times again to be sure, still no. I make a snack for my other son, clean up and then: difficult child wants a snack! ARGH!!! If I was to give him one any ways, it would be the wrong one. I do let them choose their snack (I have eliminated any food that is not healthy because imposing a limit on those foods created too much stress with difficult child). The therapist suggested to put it in front of him and then ask him. She explained that it might seem like a simple question, but if there is in fact a processing pb, he might not truly grasp the question. I'll try that this week and report with her next week. As far as your cereal pb, I would go along with your social worker's suggestion. I understand it is a rule in your house to pick one cereal at a time and I also understand the value of that rule (have to choose, can't have evrything, taking turn, compromising, etc. right?) but maybe your difficult child is just not ready. Is the value of that rule worth all the stress? I,myself, is learning to let go on some stuuf just because it creates too much drama. Right I'm working on accepting a certain level of mess in difficult child's bedroom.
