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.

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?

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'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'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.

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👍🏻

@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

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

My son is 14 months tomorrow and we can hardly get him to eat solid foods on his own. We want to wean him off formula by 18 months and have been trying to get him to snack on small finger foods and he mainly just plays with it or throws it off his tray. Sometimes he will eat it if we give it to him but most of the time he shakes his head no. Any ideas or tips on how to get him more interested in eating? He will eat yogurt bites and cherrios on his own but that's about it.
