- I agree with the "no bad foods" philosophy, but I have a son who becomes
- a whirling demon whenever he eats even one small piece of candy, or
- drinks as little as 4 oz. of soda. His little brother doesn't have
- this kind of reaction to sweets, so I don't have a problem with him
- eating them. How would you handle a situation like this? He's not
- just full of energy - it's a very negative type of energy. He jumps
- up and down on the beds, throws things at us (he threw a wrench at me
- yesterday), spits, pushes his brother down, etc. when he's "under the
- influence". I've never seen anything like it. I'm really beginning
- to worry about him, and I'm considering taking him to see a psychologist.
- He is beyond reason - it doesn't even seem like he can hear us at
- these times.
