[QUOTE="SRL, post: 16633, member: 701"] One more thing, you might make it easier on yourself if you just feed him when he's hungry, whether it fits your timing for snacks or meals. We adults have an expectation of meals by the clock. Not all young children have that same internal mechanism. One of mine went through a period where he consumed about 75% of his calories for the day by noon. My difficult child was totally explosive when he was hungry and often was asking for supper at 4 pm. When I finally gave up the fight and fed him when he was hungry things went much better. These are the kinds of issues you want to look for where minor adjustments on your part can make big improvements in preventing meltdowns. [/QUOTE]
