[quote=Anonymous]I wanted to add to the above, that I do think there are kids who you can't trust to meet all their own needs. Anorexia, and Prader-Willi are two examples of conditions where you might need another method. One of own kids could not eat enough to sustain himself. He had heart and lung conditions that meant he burned an incredible number of calories. He was on chemotherapy adjacent drugs that caused nausea and vomiting. His stamina for motor skills, including chewing and swallowing was low. He just could not meet his own caloric needs. In our case, the right choice was to put in a feeding tube, trust him to eat what was right for him, and make up the rest of the calories with slow feeds of healthy blended foods while he was asleep. So, for him, Satter was about lessening anxiety, helping him listen to his body, supporting him so he could communicate about what he wanted, making mealtimes pleasant etc . . . [/quote]
