[QUOTE="keista, post: 532459, member: 11965"] Is this a decision you're leaving up to him? I used to do this with all non-essential things. I figured I was doing a good thing by allowing my kids to make their own decisions and be their own ppl. WRONG! At least for DD2 and she's my most neurotypical. I didn't even notice it, my sister did. The child couldn't even decide what to have for lunch and go into a tailspin. Dear sis pointed out this struggle to me (I though the child was just being difficult for difficult's sake). Children need parents to take the lead sometimes -whether they like it or not. So now what I do if offer them the chance to make the decision. If they can't do it in a reasonable amount of time, I tell them that I will decide and then the decision will be set in stone. My decision is usually accepted and stress goes away. Now it doesn't always work, I did say [B]usually[/B]. [/QUOTE]
