[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP -- I went through this with my child. This started at age 2 in daycare. He would go all day from drop off until pick-up without eating anything! He turned out to have serious anxiety, sensory and some other things that eventually led to an IEP. I think that the teacher and para are on target about trying some things first before you assume the worse. My child still has difficulty eating during lunch. I think he feels rushed and that leads to anxiety. So, putting fewer things in the lunch box helps. Also, putting favorite things in there helps. I also do a walk-through of the lunch box in the AM so my child knows what's in there and gets a bit excited about the yummies I included. Other PPs are correct that he won't starve, but no mom wants to think of their child being hungry during the day when they should be focused on learning and building friendships and learning to love school. Being hungry does not equal loving school.[/quote]
