Hi, I read your post. I am a mom of twin boys, age 7 who were diagonosed with spd;s at age five. Parenting a child with spd's is difficult because it comes with many other challanges for not only for you, but for your child. They are high-strung, don't hit emotional milestones at the same age as their peers. They can be impusive, lacking reason, angry, aggressive, and sad..truly sad. NOt to mention dressing/sound issues....Understanding all of this mom, I have choose to teach my child, and yes, that means conequences. A hard call from a mom who knows thier child is in pain. But he must learn...and he can...I have a blog dedicated to all of these issues. In hopes that my travels can help another parent/child. Tips from proffessionals, stuff I learned on my own. I have taken so far what I hope are some of my best lessons, and greatest breakthrough. Look through my new/older posts, you might find some wisdom there. My blog is qannie47.blogspot.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. My children are doing great. I mean great. They are doing well in an ambitious 1st grade curriculum. Making friends, exhibiting emotional control....they still have some ways to go, but have come along way. Only those that truly know them would even be able to see my concerns at this point. For this I am grateful. Qannie

HI, Curious, what are the sixteen foods he will eat and how are they prepared. It is in the way they are prepared and presented that can make the difference. qannie
