[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 313597, member: 8226"] Well...in the spirit of brainstorming and "picking your battles," would it be worth seeing what would happen to let difficult child "call the shots" TOTALLY on what he eats and when, in exchange for decent behavior? Just let him name it up, and you buy it and let him have it on his terms? He'd pay with those "natural consequences" if he made stupid choices, because he probably wouldn't feel very good. Then maybe he'd let you make suggestions of healthier choices to at least go along with whatever he's choosing. Again, not a total freebie. The freedom to make "grown-up" decisions, like being in complete control of his diet, PLUS having you go out of your way to accommodate him, would have to be linked with other "grown-up" behaviors. I know. Letting a child be totally in charge of his diet goes against the grain with me, and my guess is that it does with you too, but it's at least another possibility in your tool box, at least for a trial run.
