I second this for sure.

My son had a hard time accepting changes too. During

a period of repeated food reactions - after they had

been down for a long time - my son had reached a point

where I could point out to him how a food he shouldn't

have eaten ruined his day by making him very stressed

out and aggressive. He surprised me by actually being

able to acknowledge this was true by experience, and

was able to stop begging for foods he knew weren't

making things any better for him.

Recently, two years later, he was allowed some

chocolate cake at a wedding, and the next day, got in

trouble at school and got detention. I had asked him

what happened, and he didn't know. Later he said

" Gosh, I hope it wasn't chocolate cake that put me in

such a bad mood. I don't want to not be able to have

that again. "

BTW - in our household, soy proteins trigger bad

aggression. If you've recently switched to soy, and

your child's pupils seem slightly dilated, you may

want to consider avoiding soy for a few weeks.
