[quote=Anonymous]My two year old DS is still in the early phases of getting evaluated and starting with different therapies.  He has language delays, sensory issues (sensory seeker), and possibly ASD.  One of the doctors we are seeing recommended that we move him from his high chair to a booster seat that he is able to climb out of for his meals.  Then we are supposed to serve him his meal and if he gets out of the seat, we throw it away regardless of how much he has eaten.  From this he is supposed to learn to regulate himself to get through a meal, because 'children don't let themselves starve'.  DS is an exceptionally picky eater, but we've never had issues with the quantity he is eating.

Part of me is afraid that this could bring on a whole new problem and I think the method is saying that he's just never been motivated enough to sit in circle time, doing small motor tasks, etc and that if the motivation is great enough he will figure it out just seems a little strange.

My question is, since I'm assuming this isn't a completely novel idea the Dr came up with, has anyone done this and seen it work for their DC?

I'm supposed to see this doctor in 2 weeks, and have tried this before then.  I will better trying this out if its actually worked for anyone.

TIA.[/quote]
