Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi CeCe, I agree. My dd could easily be vegetarian since she's not one bit picky and eats my vegetarian creations with as much gusto as the meat ones. DH thinks growing children need meat to be healthy - I know that's not true, but as Christians I'm following his lead on this one; hopefully in a couple of years, when she's done more growing, I can get her off a meaty diet at home, at any rate. My dd is considered low functioning - we don't know how much she understands since she's non-verbal. I'm starting Rapid Prompting with her next week. It seems to do well with non verbal autistics.
