So my 4 yo HFA is eating ALL THE TIME. I'm not kidding.... every time I turn around I'm hearing " I'm hungrey. I need a snack on. I want ____. " from the time he gets up till he goes to bed. DS doesn't sleep through the night constiantly either, and most nights it takes his 'nilla milk'(organic soy milk) and a hand full of crackers to get him back to bed. That said he is on a modified diet, limited dairy, gluten and sugar.

Also he's NOT on any meds. So I just can't figure out this new endless hunger. Now I am also having big issues with negitivity and increasing violence. He tells on himself most of the time without relizing it.DS - " So and so hit/pushed/pinched me back " ME - " Well that would mean you hit/pushed/pinched them first. Right? " DS - " But they hit me back! " That is a typical tattle coming from my son. At school I am hearing more and more about him acting out and being defyiant and violent as well. The final issue I'm having is the fact that he's SO argumentive and has found back talk to be his new favorite activity. I am literally at my whits ends.

Could he just be going through a growth spurt? Or has this been happening for a

long time. My son who is a picky eater and usually eats like a bird goes

through stages that can last up to a couple of months where he eats like a

horse! It always shocks me when he starts up a phase like that, but since

normally he doesn't eat much at all, I figure it all evens out in the end. I

just figure he must be growing more or being more active. As long as you are

keeping healthy snacks around and he is not overweight, I don't see the issue.

Although you could set a schedule with set eating times every two hours. I read

that preschoolers NEED to eat every two hours because of their higher

metabolisms. And make sure he gets a protein of some sort paired with something

else. Protein helps you feel fuller so that might help.

, my sister just got her son dx with ADHD, but we thought that there might be more to it. We looked up ADHD and it talked about ODD (Oppositional defiant disorder). Wow, after reading the symptoms, we were all like he has this to (every single symptom). She had an appointment yesterday with the psych and she just said that maybe they have to increase his ADHD meds and then they will see if there are any changes in his behavior.Also if your son is currently taking any meds now, you might want to check and see if this is one of the side affects. One of my sons meds that he takes causes him to be hungry all the time and I mean ALL THE TIME. When he started taking it we had to cut the dosage in 1/2 because hes was actually making himself sick because he was so full.Just a thought.-From: <gothpunkgurl17@...>Subject: ( ) Eating.... and eating.... and eating.... and a few other little issues.To:
