[QUOTE="KimSuzanne, post: 72350, member: 5976"] Hi Jen I think Mike is right its a natural progression, I was 7 when I was diagnosed my Mum was very keen on me being independant as I always had been as a child. She told me as much as she felt I could handle and we kind of did it together, she let me have a go at deciding dinner and snacks but stayed nearby incase I was unsure. The main Thing I found was we used to have a white board up in the kitchen where I planned meals, Mum could check and if I got it wrong we'd talk about it. Some friends of mine didn't self manage till quite late in life, I think you know when its time because you know your child. Kim [/QUOTE]
