[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the mom more specifically how you both can make the situation better and ensure her kid eats something. Lunch to 7:00 is way too long to go without food. [/quote]

This.  Do not get no snacks.  We always have a snack after school.  I would give a snack, offer dinner and if he refuses he sits at the table and can eat when mom gets him.

We had a situation like this.  Kid would only eat nuggets.  I made shake and bake as it is a bit better with real chicken and he lived it with some homemade fries. We ask our child who is a picky eater to take one bit now that is is older.  You could try that and offer an alternative like a sandwich.

I don't do snacks after school because I find that the kids aren't hungry for dinner.  I used to make a snack plate for the kids.  When I did it, it was cut up veggies with hummus or ranch dressing, some cheese cubes, and usually a few pretzels.  I could go back to trying this again on the nights the kid is with us.  I'll assume that he won't touch the raw veggies but maybe he would eat some cheese and pretzels. [/quote]
