[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 154274, member: 4845"] My difficult child has always eaten alot. Especially during growth spurts, she will eat two or three times as much as me! The one thing I have been very careful of is never to tell her to finish her plate. That old method of finish your plate (and ignoring your "full" signal), has resulted in many people who are not aware of thier body telling them they are no longer hunger. So there are a few different things that I can think of: 1. Food is comforting, being constantly feels makes people feel not so "empty". 2. Food is something that can be controled when one feels thier life is out of control or they are out of control of thier own body (this is also true of toileting issues). 3. Bipolar kids can have constant urges to eat and gorge themselves (esp. on carbs and anything with sugar-natural or otherwise). 4. Most of our kids are oppostional, so the harder you push an issue the harder they will push back. 5. Maybe something like Pica, I know it's food items, but it does seem a bit similar. and 6. If the issues your child presents with in addition to the eating are complex maybe (RARE) prada Willie Syndrome. Good Luck to you!!! Maybe it's time for a new therapist or an eating disorders clinic, most children's and/or psychiatric hospital have one. [/QUOTE]
