[quote=Anonymous]I know many will say because they're growing, and I'm not disputing that, but I'm still curious what some other reasons/issues there might be for this age. DS is in 6th Gr and always eats a ton and is always bigger. I know a big part of his overeating is a direct response to our (unsuccessful, of course) attempt to limit/control his food intake, but I've also read about many cases where kids eat due to other issues. I am hoping to find some clues if he is also using food/eating to deal with issues that we're not aware of. I am honestly not trying to slim him down (we're not skinny people ourselves), I just want to avoid/correct any unhealthy eating behavior before it gets worse. BTW we homecook 5/6 days a week breakfast and dinner, and he buys lunch at school. But when we eat out he shows this seemingly uncontrollable urge to eat a much bigger amout of food. He even once said to me at a restaurant when looking at the menu that he 'want to stuff my face', and no he wasn't joking.[/quote]
