my boyfriends 12 year old son came to live with us recently. He asked if he could stay home during the day while we're at work, because of where we live we felt that it would be okay. There are other children in the neighborhood his age and there are other adults home during the day if there should be a problem. However, the problem we are having I'm not sure how to deal with. He will not take time to eat. He'll go all day and not eat anything-I know it's because he doesn't want to stop playing with this friends-he says he's not hungry-what should we do-just say ok don't eat or start making him go to his grandmother's. I don't have children of my own so I'm not sure how to handle the situation. To me it can't be healthy for him to go all day without eating.
any input would be appreciated
