I'm hoping this is just normal 12 yo behaviour, but am not sure. My DS has been really grumpy lately - nothing abnormal there - but he's started being odd with food. He refused to eat tea on Friday as he said he didn't want what I'd made. We went for lunch yesterday and he refused to order as he wasn't hungry. But he'll eat a bag of five cookies. He also had the scales out yesterday. He's constantly on his phone and got really upset when my DH took it off him.
My DN is 11 and is ill with anorexia, I have been really open with my kids about this. I don't know whether he's just trying to make a point as he didn't want to go for lunch yesterday or if we should be properly worried.
I honestly don't know how to handle this, as he refuses to talk to us if we try to ask how he is.
