I'd say stuff the asilo, accept that he's going to be hungry and give him something when he gets home. Plenty of people would disagree but the fact is that there is no right or wrong answer.

He's still only small and needs to build up his energy and strength especially when he needs all his energy for the place he lives and the demands of school. I think the not eating at school is a psychological thing and trying to bully him into eating will just exacerbate the problem. I think he should just be ignored, to eat or not as he pleases and then they might have a chance of him enjoying it.Oh well, when he's a teenager he'll eat till its coming out of his ears - mark my words!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-13040230456702811422007-11-20T15:18:00.000+01:002007-11-20T15:18:00.000+01:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessorihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MontessoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-84201414042023987682007-11-20T11:26:00.000+01:002007-11-20T11:26:00.000+01:00Option 3 is to tackle his picky eating which is a ...Option 3 is to tackle his picky eating which is a combination of the two options, ie offer food if hungry but not always things on his short list you've posted (eg things that Bea likes and he normally doesn't?).This will probably still result in tantrums but if you can live through it then you can go full Victorian route.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
