[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's just about timing and not being so rigid- ex: do you HAVE to get dressed right away? Maybe being in pjs for a bit would help if it meant an easier transition to clothes in, say, an hour. Same with the cheese example - can you pre-emptively offer veggies or cheese in the early evening to take the edge off? Way better than him snacking 10 min before dinner. Have you tried silly voices, pretending his socks are puppets as you get him dressed (something I find myself doing a lot), or the like . "do your pants go on your head or over here on your legs? Gee, i don't know" - type silliness. It also helps to de-escalate the heightened mood abd prevents it from becoming a control battle Can he do anything for himself- maybe if he had a bit of autonomy he'd be more willing. Pick his own clothes (limit his choices so its not overwhelming). Surely he's able to pull up his pants or slide his shoes on by himself.[/quote]
