There was nothing in my life that I could control, except what went into my body. I wish I'd had a mom like you, one that would understand and accept.

My WiiBoy is a limited eater too who has also made great strides . I wrote about it in a recent post: From Food Diaries....to Food Miracles. I too wondered, when he was younger, was it sensory or the only thing in his very young life that he could control, given that the world as a whole seemed so confusing to him. It's an intersting argument, isn't it? xx Jazzy That’s great news about Aidan’s eating Tanya. My WiiBoy is a limited eater too who has also made great strides .

Surrender isn't necessarily bad. I sometimes see parents engaging in power struggles and I can only think, "how's that working for you!?" :) As always you are so correct!
