[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 127305, member: 3907"] Left to his own devices, my difficult child (18) would still do this. The only reason that he doesn't create kitchen disasters any more is that he is under 24/7 supervision. difficult child has a thing about smashing eggs. I assume it's a sensory issue, but he's done it ever since he was very little. We will find smashed egg-bits in the strangest places (against the living room wall, down the path to the back yard, at neighbours houses...etc.) For years we had to lock the fridge with a bike-chain-and-padlock combination, and I wore the key on a lanyard around my neck. The regular child-proof locks never seemed to work. I'm not sure what to tell you about the impulse to experiment with food. For my difficult child it's never truly gone away. To some extent, we have tried to channel it by taking him to cooking and baking classes, which he really enjoys, but sometimes all he wants to do is pour syrup on the floor or smash eggs against the wall. Witz recommended Folex, and I second that recommendation as a stain remover. As for the locks, Home Depot also has a good selection of door locks with keys. If you can find some that are the right size for your doors, then they are a worthwhile investment. They're not hard to install. I'm no carpenter either. {{{Hugs}}} and best of luck, Trinity [/QUOTE]
