Bit of advice needed about my 7 year old son

Hi everyone,There are a couple of concerns I've been having with my 7 year old and I just want to get everyone's opinion to see whether I'm just blowing these out of proportion in my head, or whether these are just normal kid things.Just as a bit of background, my son is a really quick kid, very energetic (doesn't like sitting around, always has to be doing something with his body), and is chatty and sociable with adults and other kids when we go out. He is a bit volatile/strongheaded (like my wife!) but he's been getting better at managing his emotions as he gets older. My wife always says that we probably expect too much of him at such a young age. He is also an only child. We also recently found out that he has mild hypermobility and is going to have some physio to help his core muscles.So here are the points I've been struggling over lately:Will only really eat plain pasta with cheese for dinner. He eats other stuff during the day but it's usually very specific (peanut butter sandwich, tomatoes, cucumber, fruit, crackers, cheese, etc.)The issue with this point is my wife will not push him to try new foods, and I believe that her approach of letting him choose exactly what he wants to eat is making him reluctant to eat different things.Will not play on his own - he needs either my wife or my attention pretty much 24/7 (unless he's watching something on the tablet). This causes me to feel like I have no freedom to just do other stuff at the weekend apart from play with him or doing stuff as a family.This one sounds silly, but he will not watch movies or TV! He pretty much exclusively watches the YouTuber DanTDM and idolises him. I'm a lover of movies and I'd like to watch movies together as a family, but whenever I suggest one he refuses to watch it. My wife won't back me up, so he ends up watching YouTube. It's not like we never watch movies, but it's very rare and we almost have to lure him out of the house to the cinema or just put a film on without telling him. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2rOEOVL
