My 4 yr old ds is driving me BaTtY!!! With his eating. He wants to eat ALLThe time and even when hes eating, when hes on his last bite he talking with his mouth full, saying "something to eat"

for breakfast he would have cereal, 2 pieces of toast and a yogurt and a drink and STILL want more. I dont know if he is really still hungry or doing it as a habit now. he does this ALL DAY!!! it drives me nuts, hes going into the fridge and sneaking food now.

whats up??? :roll:

My money is on the growth spurt too....especially if this is not typical. Just make sure all this extra eating he's doing is all good food....fruit, veggies, whole grain crackers, glass of milk.....that way you kknow he's not doing it to get extra junk food! The only thing I'd put an end to immediatly is the sneaking of food....talk with him about this and tell him he can always have whatever he needs to be fulfilled tummy-wise, but let him know that this is not acceptable and that their will be consequences and let him know what those will be.....this can set up a problem later if it continues.
The eating a lot though, I wouldn't worry, little boys grow in big spurts many times, I know my son does! I just keep the snacks healthy and low cal/fat and make sure we do more activity than usual those times!

Thanks Good advice!! :D hopefully this growth spurt dies not last that long...lol
