any tricks to getting your teen to eat? our teens love to either skip breakfast, or not take a lunch to school, but then come home RAVENOUS expecting to eat a full meal at 3:00, and then 2 helpings of dinner. being disappointed with the same snack of fruit after school and a regular sized dinner has not been enough to get them to eat both breakfast and lunch daily. they are "in charge" of both breakfast and lunch- pick their own cereal, pick what they will pack, go to the store with us every week and actually physically put their stuff in the cart, etc. so it is not a matter of they don't like what we have. from what i can tell, the breakfast gets skipped because "they don't want to eat then," and the lunch doesn't get taken because the cool kids don't eat at lunch. both kids are little tiny nothings of a child, they must be the skinniest kids in school. they need to eat more...and i don't mean calorie-loading at the end of the day.

so, how do you get your teens to eat?...... because mine won't.
