[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 169627, member: 455"] My middle difficult child is. To the point she will steal food. I'm not sure at what level exactly you are at and if you've experienced any at this level as you didn't mention this. She will demand, and I do mean demand breakfast the moment she wakes (or wakes us up if we are not awake when she gets up). Shortly there after she demands more food stating she is hungry again. She will seek out lunch around 10 and keep bugging for it until she gets it even though she knows what time she will get it. Then she will bug for more food in the afternoon several times over even if given a snack (often we've had to limit that when her weight went up). Then it's dinner and immediately after that demanding dessert right away. She gets up in the middle of the night as well and steals even if she's had dessert. We have tried having healthy choices for options in place of other stuff. Leaving out as much of the healthy items so she can have them when ever she wants (on advice of docs). Doesn't work. We are now into lock down of everything. We have a closet that we had to buy simply to put all kinds of food we know she will steal into. She progressed to can goods, ketchup (unopened and open), sugar, confectioner sugar, cake mixes, etc. You name it she didn't discriminate (even things you wouldn't think of). We also have to lock up the refrigerator. She would sneak into that and steal. She became so good at it that I could be sitting right in the next room and she was able to get in and out with out me noticing. It's sad and scary. We don't know why she is doing this as of yet and have been working on the answer for 1 1/2 years now and have come up empty. [/QUOTE]
