[QUOTE="busywend, post: 430911, member: 391"] Welcome to the site! You seem like you have a good handle on the big things (medications, docs, violence, etc) and you are now looking for ways to make every day life situations a bit smoother. First of all, do not use the word 'No'. Ever. It triggers most of our kids. Someday you will reintroduce it because it is part of real life, but for now take it out of the conversation. I think some of the medications our difficult children from are taking actually trigger food issues. I do not know about the medications your difficult child is taking, but see if there are any side effects that have to do with food. The even tone, neutral position may work for a little while, but I think it will backfire eventually. Plus, it is really difficult to do! Just start thinking about different ways you can react with him. Try some out and see what happens. Every kid is different and there is not magic here. Just different things to try. They might all work for a bit, but usually I think we all find we have to mix it up from time to time. Oh - you can hover your mouse over any acronym to see the definition. [/QUOTE]
