[quote=Anonymous]For people whose kids have issues with eating, how have you dealt with lunch?  My young teen DD has sort of a complicated health/mental health picture.  I don't think she's anorexic, but she has many of the warning signs that can indicate a likelihood of anorexia.  She often does not eat her lunch, and I find days worth of uneaten lunches horded in her backpack.  (She often leaves them in her locker for days, then brings them all home at once.)  Sometimes I suspect she throws them out without my seeing them.  She does say that she eats them sometimes, but says she is just not hungry and would rather do something other than eat.  Any suggestions?  I am already packing her preferred lunch.  I do make sure she eats a decent breakfast.  She's in therapy.  The school has offered her a quieter place to eat, but I don't think she's inclined to do that.  Anything else I can do, or do I just keep making the lunches and telling her how important it is for her to eat something during the day?  [/quote]
