[quote=Anonymous]I think you showed disrespect for your teen. He may have been feeling proud of himself for begin a big guy and trying new things and you chided him like a toddler for not clearing his plate. He's more than old enough to be responsible for his own food regulation. It might have worked better to praise him for being adventurous and mention (later) that when you try something new in a buffet situation, you might put just a taste on the plate in case you don't like it, and if you do go back for more. I know that is already your rule, but I'm gong to bet that for your DC, he was more focused on trying something new than remembering the old rules. Look for the good first! I agree the apology approach with praise for trying something new would probably go a long way to building an adult bond between you.[/quote]
