Question my son is overweight for his age. He doesnt eat drunk food just alot of food. At lunch he had a pb and j and a banana. He is only three years old( just turned 3 in Sept). After eating all his lunch he wants more. Am I being to hard on him for saying he needs to wait in about an hour if he is still hungry he can have a snack? I never had a weight problem till I was an adult same with my husband and I dont want him to be picked on in school one day. So I have always encouraged healthy eating he just has a portion problem.

@ashley2371, yes I agree alot of people give junk but my son has never really liked candy and stuff like that he would take an apple or banana over anything
If you're feeding him healthy foods I wouldn't worry. Make sure it's balanced with a protein, carb, and veggie. He also may be thirsty which can be mistaken for hunger. Make sure he's drinking enough water:) otherwise I think he's just plain good old fashioned hungry. Kudos to you for feeding him good food. I see a lot of sugar and junk going into kids these days👍🏻
He's three. You're lucky he even wants to eat. Most toddlers aren't as easy at that lol. He knows when he's hungry! He's practically a baby still, his pudge will melt away as he gets older and more active.
I'd say to add something else small to his meal, maybe one of those little tiny packs of raisins or a yogurt. He might genuinely still just be hungry. But it is up to you to make sure he isn't overeating, so I don't think you're being too hard or mean.
He has water to drink. I told him if he was hungry in a little bit he can have a snack but I dont think he needs to eat all day.
I don't think that sounds mean. Sometimes kids (just like us) ask for more food and eat cuz they are bored, or sometimes thirty. Maybe offer him some water or something in the mean time?
That's awesome!!!
