[QUOTE="spook_kate_, post: 1440631, member: 388061"] I'm so sorry to hear that [USER=389138]@Buzz2102[/USER], I was diagnosed at 2 yrs old so luckily became part of daily habits! Try the shock factor, tell him if he doesn't care for himself, the complications could set in. Show Google photos etc. Also that although your primary concern is him, that if something happens to him it's you, friends and other family suffer. Get him to understand your concerns and consider everyone else's feelings. Be cruel to be kind? You will have a tough job ahead of you, esp as puberty/hormones will set in. You have a huge network here, take advantage of it, the support etc. Perhaps get him an account on this forum as there's a section for kids so he can rant, rave, vent his feelings and see that other kids go through that!!
