[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 62476, member: 2036"] My daughter wants to eat all of the time. She is 7. She appears to have symptoms of ODD/ADHD. I'm in the process of trying to get her tested/evaluated. I'm not sure if she is trying to soothe herself with food to help her cope with her feelings or if she is legitimately hungry. When she has had more than plenty to eat and wants more I'll ask her if her tummy is telling her that she's full/hungry or if she is feeling bored or something else. She will always insist that her tummy is hungry. She is tall for her age and overweight. I try to not keep junk around the house so if she does eat something without me knowing at least it's a good choice. Most of the time she comes to me and asks if she can have something to eat between meals yet still sneaks on occasion. With behavior issues at the forefront of my mind it makes me wonder if it's related somehow. husband thinks she does it because she's bored. I'm not convinced. Any thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
