I'm new to this board but I think I'm going to take up residence.
DS1 has started secondary school, he's struggling massively and unexpectedly and I'm trying to chase up an assessment for dyspraxia but really goodness knows what the problem/s might be. He's adopted and has some insecure attachment issues too.
However one thing is he is really not managing to feed himself during the day. I downloaded the canteen list (it's a biometric system) - despite repeated reminders, many days he is eating nothing, or just cakes and Yazoo milkshakes/Drench drinks. Some days he misses breakfast as he just will not get out of bed and the bus is very early. What this is doing to his concentration/wellbeing when he's already struggling can't be good. He's started putting on weight (I guess that might be preteen filling out).
Has anyone had similar - did you just resort to packed lunch? I know he struggles with the canteen queue (no friends to wait with) and tends to resort to the tuck shop.
