Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I've been laughing following this discussion because I'm having a problem with this kind of thing too. My three and a half year old reacts badly to red dye so I've been teaching him to avoid red foods that he can easily identify as being filled with red dye. I should NEVER have used the word " dye, " instead I should have used " coloring " as now he's convinced he's going to DIE if he eats anything red. I've tried to explain what " dye " is but he just can't understand and talks about not wanting to eat anything red so he won't die. At this point I don't really know how to fix it as he's got it in his head that red things make your sick/die and I can't convince him otherwise!!!
