What Could Cause Poor Eating Habits, Frail Body And Chapped Lips In A Child With Special Needs?
I work with aspecial needs chold. Parent claims she has so many allergies and gluten problem.I do not think she was tested by an md we think it is a holistic doctor. She only drinks a little bit of apple juice at lunch. She takes 2 bites of her turkey meat and ets nothing else. She does not drink anything else all day at school.She has peeling lips and is very thin.Do you think she is dehydrated. She does not use the restroom unless we remind her to go which is once a day.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Most of the children does not have any bad habit but some time parent them selves make the children sick, they always keeping eye on them watching the kids whether they are eating or not whether they are using restroom or not, what exactly they are doing, are they doing any thing unusual,, I say this is their Kingdome and let them handle accordingly, your job is to give them good company and not to pointing them, what ever the problems you have described here are not the serous one such children needs counselling and then every thing will be alright, take care and nice day.
