[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to drop the anxiety over what he is eating and breakfast.  He should 20 min max for breakfast. Giving him all this time and stressing over what he eats; I think it contributes to more wasting of time and not eating.  Even just a glass of milk (or chocolate milk) is “enough.” He won’t starve to death or not be able to focus, I promise. Set out his breakfast and then in 20 min, clear it without a a fuss or comments about what he did/didn’t eat and move along. Whatever he eats or doesn’t eat is up to him. [/quote]

+1.   Yes, I agree, having been through this myself.  And he will not starve!  DS is now 15.  It’s hard not to make comments - but just don’t!  I made muffins (the night before), or put peanut butter on a piece of toast/waffle, a yogurt smoothie, bought Cheerios (or Chex) to bring in the car.

They’ll be a lot of people who make comments (mainly from my family). I told them to shut up.  I have SN son with medical issues so I know what “feeding issues” are.

He is still picky to this day BUT he’s come along way.  We found once he was in middle school he tried more things when his friends were around.  And it helped to have an awesome pediatrician who encouraged me that we were doing the right thing![/quote]
