[quote=Anonymous]We gave up this fight...  Our DS wasn't eating his lunch most of the time -- after investigation -  it became clear he was way more interested in the fact that lunch time was a social/fun time with his friends which he prioritized over eating (and we can't pack his fave PB&J b/c of class allergies) - we ended up giving him 'snacky' foods wheat crackers & cheese and put in apple crisps along with regular apples - after giving up on the theory that if he's hungry enough he'll eat the apples (which he happily does at home) -- but he really doesn't care about the food compared to the fun time of lunch - and lunch time isn't late enough for him to feel acutely hungry.  We prioritized giving him something that will attract him enough to eat it at the time since he is one of those kids who turns into a gremlin when he gets over hungry - ie. so while he might not be super hungry at the designated lunch time at school, by the afternoon it would mean he would potentially start misbehaving or getting too tired to make it through the rest of the school day.)[/quote]
