We tried saying you could set away from us...in the kitchen or up the table...but no he

  • Reading down and I think whilst you may want him to eat with you all, I actually think for his own happiness here - allow him to have his meals on his own when he wants to. There no reason why he shouldn't. Buy a tray and encourage him to carry his own meals to his room and bring the plate down when he comes down so you not doing any extra work. Happiness all round then. 

    He may seem more isolated to you, but may be it what he needs after a full day of school where he can't go and shut himself off.
