[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 734291, member: 1963"] Hmmm...the only thing I can think of is going to a two fridge/freezer situation. One, smaller fridge/freezer holds food that is available to all. The other, holds food you don't want your son to get into. That one is locked. Other parents on here have had gotten to the point of having to lock up food. So long as a balanced diet is available to him, there is absolutely nothing that CPS can say about the locked fridge/freezer. You're not under any obligation to provide him with ice cream, etc. In fact, I wouldn't. I'd provide a basic diet. Protein, carbs, fruits and veggies. Basic nutrition in large quantities because he's growing right now. (unless he's overweight) No one needs a gallon of milk a day. 24oz is enough to get all the calcium etc., you need. No one needs ice cream. Ice cream is a treat. I eat a half cup of it every once in a while. There are ways around this, but he's gonna throw a fit. As regarding leaving dirty dishes and food laying around. He gets one set of dishes and one set of silverware. If they are dirty, he either washes them, or eats off of dirty tableware. Lock up the other stuff. You're not gonna train him at this point; you're going to prevent the behavior by making it impossible for him to behave in this way. [/QUOTE]
