6:44 Only Wanting to Eat Junk Food

Would love some help with eating good stuff instead of bagels and junk stuff.

My son only eats pizza, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, cheez-its, fruit, peanut butter and jelly and cheese. This is really it. We try and give him different foods we even hide it in foods. He just wont eat it. He has sensory issues and is starting a feeding therapist. The problem I have is that I am about ready to give up cooking. I waste so much food and my left overs go in trash. It is hard to make meals for just two people when only I eat. how can I get him to explore more foods? He also helps cook the meals in kitchen and he loves this a lot but when he has to eat it. He doesn\'t. HELP!

30:53 My 9 Year Old is Struggling to Make Friends

My 9 yr old son will be starting 4th grade next week. We are still struggling making friends and asking to play properly. For example, we were at the shore last week and 2 boys were playing in the ocean. He wanted to play, and I told him go ask. He said "hi, this is my mom Johanny. Her phone number is ....) the kid looked so confused. I stepped in and said he wants to play with you. Didn\'t go well. I worry this is happening at school too. Can we get the school to support him during recess or lunch. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see what is happening, so I can figure out how to help. Suggestions? TIA and thanks for all that you both do 3
