Re: Amy/Re: exposure tips?

[Guest guest]

Hi Grace,

You certainly have a difficult issue to deal with this time, don't you? I

will ponder your problem and try to come up with some ideas, but currently

have the flu and am not feeling very sharp (at all). What I did want to suggest

is that you could possible fill an Ensure can or bottle with water for your

older daughter, if she would agree to participate. You'd have to be pretty

sneaky, but if it got your younger girl to drink it, it would be worth it. I'm

sure

your older daughter doesn't want to gain weight, so that makes everything

doubly tough.

One kind of exposure I could imagine, which sounds pretty harsh, might be

to have your older daughter report what she ate, and after your younger

daughter eats it, she could say, " actually I didn't eat that at all. " After the

tantrums settle down, it might show your younger daughter that nothing horrible

happens when she eats something different. Again, you'd have to enlist the help

of the big sister.

Good luck with this -
