[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old is around 40 lbs, adhd and asd. Pediatrican is not worried about his weight. He is not medicated, and I can share his routine as below. At nightime, I pick his next morning clothes, he does his night shower/change clothes/brush teeth and he goes to bed around 9:30pm, latest at 10pm. He wakes up on his own between 7am to 7:30pm, no need to change clothes, no need to comb his hair (his hair is never messy), no need to brush teeth (just rinse mouth), use bathroom and comes downstair. Upon him waking up, we leave the house in 10 to 20 min out of the front door with his backpack with his packed lunch ( I woke up early to make almost the same lunch for this picky eater). He eats zero to 3 bites of breakfast, but he normally finishes his lunch. All he needs to do in the morning is to rinse his mouth, use bathroom, wear socks/shoes/jackets, maybe zero to 3 bites of breakfast and 1 sip of water. He loves to go to beforecare, so that is his motivatation to leave home to play. He is mad if I don't leave the house soon because he wants to play at beforecare. I don't care if he eats breakfast or not. If he does not eat, that is his choice to wait till lunch hours. On weekend, he can wear pajamas because there is no school next day. I have a girl too. I only knows how to do ponytail, and that is all she gets. She wears the next day clothing in sleep. She can eat breakfast on the way to school or in the car. The same that I don't care if she eats breakfast or not since that is her choice. [/quote]
