[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 331562, member: 7083"] He's just going to have to learn this one on his own, I think. We can't manage every aspect of their lives that age, no matter how hard we try. difficult child doesn't eat lunch. For the first 6 weeks, I sent a lunch with her to school. She ate some of it and I would then find unopened granola bars, baggies of fruits and veggies, etc, in the garbage. So, I told her she needs to make her own lunch. She's not interested. I know it effects her. Hypoglycemia runs in the family and while hers isn't as volatile as mine, not eating does effect her behavior. But, I can't force her and it's just something she's going to have to want to do on her own. I understand difficult child 1 has other health issues at play, but at 15 what are you going to do about something like this when it's happening outside of your home? That said, there should still be consequences for his behavior that are a direct response to his not eating. He chooses not to eat so he is responsible for his behavior. Broken record time. [/QUOTE]
