It is curious that you should mention his diet; his eating habits are down right horrific. I should mention however that it has little to do with a bad example on the part of the parents; they’ve tried everything imaginable to diversify his diet, even forcefully, but to no avail. He would rather fast than eat something that is not to his almost ridiculously picky taste. While in the past this might have lead to a prolonged campaign of tantrums and no nutritional intake, now his parents will generally feed him what he demands, for fear of his not getting any nutrition at all. They do however try to limit his intake, but this within itself will never be enough to fix the problem. While not severely overweight, he has become quite pudgy. How else do you suggest we should alter the quality of his food intake?
