Re: Iam concerned-forcing food

[Guest guest]

I try to describe my aversions and food sensitivities to people in a way they can understand. I am Hypersensitive to sounds, smells and tastes and more. Being forced to try foods for me (or your grandson) is like forcing someone to eat 5 star spicy Mexican or Thai when they are not capable of handling it. That usually helps them to relate that most everyone has sensitivities at some level-just more so for some than others. I would hope if you describe it to him that way, he might be more understanding to not only food, but also to some of the other sensitivities and reactions that are often viewed as just "bad behavior" by people who forget that some people and kids have highly tweaked senses and are much more affected by things than most others.
