Hi all! It's been a while since i have been on! It has been crazy busy in my home lately and I still have the same amount of children!

So I have a 4.5 yo boy who spills his milk EVERY DAY...it has been every day for the last 2 1/2 weeks. I have tried everything from splitting him from his buddy, to giving him his milk after he eats....I NEED help. I don't want to give him a tippy cup because I think it would defeat the purpose of trying to teach him control over his body. I am now thinking of having him come to the counter and stand with me while he drinks his milk. Is this too strict or does it bring inappropriate attention to the matter? I don't want to humiliate him, but I have done everything buy stand over him while he is drinking it. I don't want to single him out, but I might just have to do this. DCM and DCD say that he has occasionally spilled his drinks at dinner...so they are experiencing it as well!

THANKS IN ADVANCE for all of the advice!
