[quote=Anonymous]you're getting good advice here, OP, and doing a good job. Bryan Post's stuff on Beyond Consequences might be helpful. Also, there is a book called "Love Me, Feed Me" about food and traumatized kids. Might be helpful. I've known people who do well with a box of snacks the kid can take from anytime, or a "Yes jar" of food she needs to ask you for, but you will always say yes. Avoiding the word "no" can also help. So to "can I have a popsicle?" maybe "yes you can! right after we eat dinner and clean up!" could help. Some kids will still hear that as a no, but others seem to do a little better with anything other than "no."[/quote]
