Eating.... and eating.... and eating.... and a few other little issues.

[Guest guest]

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. DS has always been a healthy eater and is still

allowed limited amounts of cheese and yougurt as well as limited amounts of

regular bread and few crackers. He only drinks organic soy milk. 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.
