[QUOTE="Malika, post: 473344, member: 11227"] Hello, welcome to the forum. My son is also a very picky eater although he hasn't made himself sick (yet). Personally - but it's always easy to say, hard to do - I would take your son [B]seriously[/B] and respect the fact that this is causing him such distress. I would try to get to the bottom of what is going on and why. I think punishing him will only reinforce the anxiety and the neurosis about food. I'd let him not eat what he doesn't want to eat and wait for him to be hungry and eat - not providing sweets and snacks, obviously. That is hard at school. I think special arrangements might need to be made. More importantly, is this a sign of something else going on? Does your son have any other "issues"? I'm sure other people will come with more pointers and advice. [/QUOTE]
