Anyone else struggling with their teen's eating habits and energy?
Lately I’ve been getting a little concerned about my son. He’s 14 and seems tired most days, has a harder time focusing on schoolwork and getting him to eat anything remotely healthy has become a struggle. Fast food he’ll eat without a second thought, same with snacks but proper meals or anything nutritious? Suddenly he has no appetite.
I know adolescence can affect energy, appetite, mood, hormones pretty much everything at this age but I keep wondering how much his eating habits could be adding to the tiredness and trouble concentrating. If most of what he eats isn’t particularly nutritious, I can’t imagine it’s doing his energy any favors. Anyone dealt with this with their teen? What helped him get back into a better routine? Would appreciate your tips and advices.
