As long as everything continues to be good one week should be long

enough before starting the yogurt especially if you start with a

small amount like 1/8 tsp.

If you notice die off symptoms you can try epsom salt baths and/or

activated charcaol to help ease them:

When my daughter was very young she had tantrums. Deep breathing and

taking a moment for yourself and counting to ten helped. Mostly I

tried to move her to her own room or place on her own until the worst

passed. That way we both calmed down.

In public I told her we would leave place " x " if she didn't stop and

*always* followed through. This worked well for her because she is a

very social kid and loved being with people and visiting stores,

friends etc.. If I was unable to leave a place I would use a

different angle. I wouldn't allow her to see a favorite video, show

etc. I didn't withhold food for this type of thing.

With Dan I had to make a different punishment because he doesn't

like going to stores etc.. I would tell him he lost privelege of

playing with the computer, toys or other favorite thing (never his

blankies or stuffies he slept with). Again I didn't use food as a

lever.
