[quote=Anonymous][quote]Thank you very much for the advice! I figure that since it was related to play time it was okay to let him choose what to play with and that I didn't need to offer options for that. I never had this problem with other children with that strategy, but I can see what you mean. He might need even more consistency than most kids and I can see how limiting what he choose could help. I have read so much that children get to decide so little and that they should have choices on things that don't really matter that I usually just let them choose the non important stuff and it had worked until now. But I will definitely change this. I obviously never let him decide important things and the snack thing his parents told me he is allowed to choose, so I followed their directions assuming that it was something that worked for them.[/quote]

OP, do the parents want him to have unlimited choices for snacks?  Is there any reason that you can't prepare two healthy snacks (carrot sticks and cheese stick or apple slices and almonds) and take them with you to meet him, so that he can choose from those two there, eat, then you can walk home?[/quote]
