Dr. Rad put on DM's (my son's) expander today - and thanks to Dr. Rad's positive and informative approach, the whole experience was positive. DM wanted ice cream as a treat for getting the expander and while I wasn't looking loaded his cup with toppings. Before I could say a word, he said "Oh, man! I can't eat any of that stuff on top..." He self-monitored based on what he learned earlier today. This evening when Dr. Rad called to check-in, DM gave two thumbs up. Wow- so much easier than I thought.
