[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 724240, member: 19290"] This reminded me of something. When my son was in inpatient, there was a therapeutic farm experience for the whole family. We were allowed to feed different species of animals all in one pen. Llama, pig, rooster, etc... with the thought that we would identify with their very different personalities. But I think it was as much to think about our child's spirit animal. I felt like my son was the rooster, in relation to me at least. Very very cautious in accepting any corn. Best to leave it on the ground and step back. It feels like some kids will never develop the trust to sit in our laps, and eat from our hands, regardless of how much corn we have or how carefully we approach. Maybe the best we can hope for is that they'll follow the trail to less dangerous places. And know the source is always there. [/QUOTE]
