We live in France where packed lunches are banned. You either have hot school lunches or go home for lunch.
I got a phonecall from DD's secondary school yesterday. She did not eat at lunch. Nothing. It has been going on for weeks and weeks and it is getting worse.
DD is extremely fussy. She doesn't like meat apart from a certain type of chicken breasts. She doesn't eat eggs or cheese. She won't eat salad if there is dressing.
I manage to feed her a healthy diet at home (I make crêpes or waffles for breakfast so that she has some dairy and eggs, lots of pulses which she likes...). But she won't touch school lunches.
I cannot take her home everyday for lunch. I am not allowed to send a packed lunch or snacks. She leaves the house at 7:30 and comes home at 5:20. She cannot go on with a long schoolday on an empty stomach!
I am going to send her to our GP to check that there are no underlying physical or mental issues. In the meantime, is there anything I can do?
