[QUOTE="tonime, post: 183154, member: 144"] OMG! Yes, I totally relate! My son is 11- yes he can be annoying-seeming on purpose- power eating-- I "hid" the peanut butter jar in my house! We are trying to work with him and monitor his eating--he also inhales his food- not overweight yet- but I don't want him to develp bad habits. As for anxiety YUP-- I practically have to bribe him to take a shower upstairs by himself-- but now he does. He also has a fear of "drains" in pools. He wouldn't go off a diving board for years cause of the drains at the bottom of the pool. HOWEVER, I think many of these "fears" and anxieties are part of normal childhood. My 26 year old niece made me feel better when she totally related to the shower thing, telling me it was the same for her when she was a kid. I also try to help him face his fears--he eventually went off the diving board- and now showers upstairs. When he first did the shower thing he would sing real loud (kind of cute) I guess as a coping mechanism-- then he even stopped that. Day by day little by little they get there. [/QUOTE]
