[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 483067, member: 1550"] I find that for difficult children you have to suspend what your ideal of parenting a child is and your ideal of how a child will respond to things. Sonic is so fussy about what he eats that we always feed him one of the things he will eat at Thanksgiving and do not insist he eat what we eat. He is eighteen and by now we realize we can't make him eat what he doesn't want to eat, and we certainly don't want to fight with an older teenager over stuff like that. So we have made many concessions because Sonic is different. I mean, no way around it...he is. And it's not his fault. [/QUOTE]
