Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hello, My name is Laury and I'm new to the list. I suffer from OCD and I'm beginning to think my five-year-old son does, too. About a week ago he developed a fear of choking. Consequently, he has decided that eating is dangerous as it could lead to choking. My husband and I tried to be gentle and understanding but now we are really becoming concerned that he is not getting the proper nutrients. We are now trying to force him to eat. I have an appointment scheduled with a child psychologist on Tuesday; however, I really don't know what we should be doing in the meantime. My pediatrician said my son could go for two weeks without eating much. Has anyone dealt with a child who was afraid of choking?
