A fun new Monday treat.
My newest dcb is 5.5, just missed the kindergarten cutoff. He is here about 3 days a week, his mom still has him in his "old" daycare the other 2 days because they want him to "graduate" from there. :confused: I don't agree with that because its hard for him not to mix up rules, routines, etc. But I don't have any control over that.
He's a big boy, but an extremely picky eater. He refuses about 90% of the food we serve. His other school is a morning program so he's never had to eat school lunch. He once told me that he always has Pringles waiting in the car for him.
I don't fight him about eating. We keep fresh fruit available so he mostly survives off apples and milk. Fine with me.
Before we eat a meal/snack, we always sing a little song to calm us before eating and to make sure no one starts eating before everyone's ready. Today he's had a slobbering, sobbing meltdown at both am snack and lunch because he "just doesn't feel like doing it". I've told him he doesn't have to sing, but he has to wait quietly with his hands off his food til the rest of us are done singing. He did not agree.
What would you do? I'm not willing to let him start eating while the rest are singing, but I'm over the tears about it. What would you do?
