I have tried to do things to give him control, like letting him choose the food. I went to the store with him, and just him and let him choose stuff. One thing he chose was the little idividual packs of manderin oranges. That night I gave him some with dinner to be sure he liked them. He raved about them and asked me to put them in his lunch, asked me again in the morning if they were in his lunch. When he got home that day it was still in the lunch box. He said he didn't have time to eat it, but to please put it in the lunch box the next day. The third day of this the aid called me to tell me that he was telling her he hated those things and he didn't know why I was putting them in his lunch box. He also sometimes throws the biggest fits about eating foods he likes, or when I have let him choose what to eat. I kept thinking that giving him more control would help, but it doesn't it seems to make him worse. Which really confuses me!
