I've been going through a very tough time lately with a lot going on, so been trying to tackle a lot of things at once. I'm struggling to get my son to eat. He constantly asks for sweets/chocolates, even though I very rarely buy them. He will eat things one day and then claim that he doesn't like them the next time. He seems to view food as a tool to get treats. So he'll see a plate of food and then ask how many of each foods he needs to eat to get a treat. I never give him treats after dinner! I was doing better with this when he was younger, because I had more energy to deal with it. We used a sticker chart then, but that kind of encouragement is no longer working with this. It's also worth mentioning that I'm an absolutely terrible cook and really struggle. I very rarely do any cooking, but structure our week at grandparents etc so that I don't have to. Struggle with even very simple things, so it takes me a long time to make anything and I'm then disappointed when he refuses to even try it. He wasn't this way when he was younger and I'm very worried about it. I give him vitamins but he is currently having growth hormone therapy and I'm really eager to make sure he's getting the correct nutrition as he's now growing so quickly.
Any advice?
