My son doesnt eat

[Louise1980]

Sorry its a long one!!
Some of you may remember "my sons a sausage" thread i posted a while back.

Ive recently altered his diet as i think chocolate and sweeds etc are contributing to his hyper activity.

I used to get him to eat what i consideed sufficient when he had chocolate or ice cream as a desert. Bribary i know but it worked.

I havnt stopped his snacks just dont have chocolate of biscuits in the house and he wont eat very much at all.

A typical day for him is
breakfast - toast or ham sandwich (he wont eat cereal anymore becasue i dont buy suger coated)
Lunch - Another ham sandwich, cheese strings, crisps.
Tea - not much beacuse i cook a meal with vegetables and he wont eat them maybe a cheese string and ham sandwich or sausages
Supper - drink of milk and cheeses string

I feel like my problem is not enough variety in his diet especially his fruit and veg. If i stick to this way will he eventually surrender and eat the f + v?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I dont want to go bak to treating him with ice cream etc and star charts dont work.

I gave the bys both the same for tea today and ds2 ate most of his but had tried hard.

Ds1 on the other hand didnt eat much, he had about 4 beans on his plate and he wouldnt even put one in his mouth!

I would love tho see him tuck into a meal and enjoy it. I dont even want a clean plate, just a fairly good attempt.

My friends complain I dont cook but its such a waste of time if it all gets chucked out!

Sometimes i get myself really upset about it because when he was younger he was a good eater, not fruit n veg, but he enjoyed it. We've had a lot of problems over the last 3yrs and i feel like its this that has caused this.
