:hug: Our little one struggled with Welsh (school is Welsh only - English comes later) but thanks to the school being open minded they give her extra lessons and is flourishing. Admittedly it took long time.
She is also a fussy eater and drives me up the wall at times, but we let her eat her fave food - pasta and now, after two years, has started to experiment with new foods (friends have a lot to do with it.)She loves fruit so that was a help on the vitimn front.
the fact that there is a little girl with Danny in the same boat won't make him feel so isolated. Perhaps invite her and her parents around, watching a friend eat might make him more adventurous. If he likes fruit let him eat as much as poss. From XP the more you hassle him on it, the more he'll refuse.
Children (and some adults) don't like change and children are unable to tell us how they are feeling so they 'act' out in a way that grabs our attention. Danny has grabbed your attention by not eating. Children will not let themselves go hungry. Walk away when he won't eat and leave the plate infront of him. He will eat it eventually. Just don't lose your temper as he will then get a complex about food. :luck:
