Hi DS, age 9, does not eat in school any more. It used to occur sometimes but since going back this term it is pretty much every day now. I have tried to speak to him on this numerous times and make what he requests for lunch but still no sucess. Today he finally, after being very upset, told me the reason is due to the noise at break times in the classroom, he does not do well with a lot of noise or crowds. This is upsetting him at break time and resulting in him not eating. we have discussed how he could handle this himself and in try to ignore the noise and read while eating, however should i mention this to the teacher? I am going to talk to him on other issues later this week anyway.

The drinking is another issue which is ongoing for years but if we coud sort out one we could then work on the other

Thanks in advance

merrymarigold, did you have any luck with the doctor? DS doctor is making a referral for him to CAMHS, for this reason and some others, this may take some time due to how busy they are here.

Hopefully your GP listens and has some advice

no chance of moving class as the 3 classes are full
