[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is a skinny kid so I'm not too thrilled about having him miss meals. He was never very picky  when he was younger but how do you deal with preteen not wanting to eat what you serve for dinner?  I know the general descriptions of my food being yucky are disrespectful but do I battle over his disrespect or just let this go and not feed him? [b]By the way and he usually goes for  cereal or ice cream about 9 PM. [/b] I deny him having something to eat later?  Our pediatrician says just not to battle about the food but how do others handle this?[/quote]

Who would allow that? You brought this on yourself, OP.

First, he has to apologize for saying that about your food. 
Then, ask him for suggestions on cooking, and this summer, teach him to cook. He's old enough to learn making simple meals. That includes selecting items at the grocery store, composing a meal, cooking, serving and cleaning up.

Turn lemons into lemonade, OP!

And NO cereal or ice cream at 9pm, for God's sake. I have a 3th percentiler - he's not allowed that either.[/quote]
