[QUOTE="Janna, post: 236459, member: 2737"] J is very, very small for his age, too. He's 10 and a whopping 55 lbs LOL! He's on a stimulant, Concerta, and has been for about 2 1/2 years. We took him off the Concerta here about 3 months ago for 6 weeks. Let me tell you, he ate like a PIG, putting on 9 pounds! LOL! But, as soon as we put him back on it, his hunger went downhill again. I wake up extra early to make him eat. My first son doesn't get on the bus until 7 AM, but I'm up at 5. I make them get up at 6, eat FIRST, then medications. I have Chrones Disease, and can tell you that there are times I really, REALLY have to watch what I eat. When I was a teenager, I was alot like Smallworld's daughter - very VERY picky, because there were things I would eat (cheese, fatty foods, etc) that would lay me out sick. What does the doctor say? I mean, is your son in jeopardy of becoming ill if he doesn't eat more? J, although small, is healthy. I just continue to try to give him things in between to pack on a few calories here and there, but if he doesn't eat a full meal, I really don't get angry, because it's really not his fault. [/QUOTE]
