[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you tried giving your child more control over other parts of his life? Can you let him make his own breakfast? Give him choices for everything instead of telling him what's going to happen? Let him have some control, that's what this is about.[/quote]

Make his own breakfast? Is that normal for a three year old? He refuses to eat anything besides yogurt anyway.[/quote] I’m seeing a pattern here. You are letting him get way to much of his own way. [/quote]

Yeah I can't imagine only letting my kid eat what he wants to eat. I believe in choices, but they're between two things I want the kid to have.

I think the other SN kid has worn you out and this kid isn't getting enough positive parent attention. And thus is acting out. [/quote]

That's easier said than done. He's underweight and absolutely has just refused to eat things for days.  Our pediatrician told us we shouldn't push it.  We (us and the therapists) tried to push food with his brother, who has actually been less fussy throughout his life and isn't underweight, but the tantrums got out of hand and the therapists told us we needed to stop because they weren't able to do anything during their sessions.
