[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 64946, member: 3647"] I am going to give you specific suggestions, due to Beaner's age and his "I don't have to" (Tink's first words, seems like just yesterday...) You mentioned bedtime and mealtime. Those two were the absolute worst for me as well. I gave up on mealtime. I see that Beaner is an only, which will work to your benefit, as it did for me since Tink is an only. I let her eat when she is hungry. She has sensory issues and is not necessarily hungry at mealtime. I really do not make a fuss out of it. Nor do I make a fuss out of what she eats. That is not to say that I let her eat sweets all day long. As a matter of fact, she pretty well follows my rule that she gets one sweet a day. But if she wants cereal for 2 meals in a day, I don't argue. She is getting calories. For bedtime, I swear by Melatonin, as do many other mommies on the board. A 3mg tablet is just right for a boy that age, 1/2 hour before bed, and he will not be able to stay up. Good luck to you guys... [/QUOTE]
