[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old neurodiverse kid just had their check up and they've lost weight since last year. Not good. They're fairly picky about what they eat but I need to get more food into them that's not just junk for the sake of calories. Give me some ideas? I don't want to have to start loading her down with pediasure... [/quote] Sometimes my kid gets UP to the 2nd percentile. We do pediasure and have open house on fruit, veg, and yogurt. Kid is given 2 starchy snacks of their choice morning and afternoon. We ALWAYS have dessert (for those that eat a good dinner). She doesn’t eat much but it does fill her nutritional needs and she looks healthy (shiny hair, strong nails, good muscle tone, clear eyes, beautiful skin). We also don’t have quantity cutoffs or ban any foods - we encourage the ‘good stuff’ goes in first.[/quote]
