[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

Those are all great pieces of advice. I will talk to his psych about non-stim meds and also embrace alternative eating times or consider just medicating anyway. I know the snacking at night drives my husband bonkers. [b]He grew up in a "kitchen is closed" kinda house so doesn't like when the kids start snacking so soon after dinner[/b].

How do you handle the snacking with the other kids? If my son is eating/snacking later at night, Icecream, yogurt, cheese, chips, etc. My other 3 kids are also going to want to eat at that time too even though they are not hungry nor do they need to eat then. I don't want to cause weird food struggles and also don't want to seem like I'm playing *favorites* which is inevitably what my young kids will think ("he gets to eat Icecream every night that's not fair"). I can see it now!

:lol:  :lol:  :lol: just wait until your kids are older teens who descend on the kitchen like a pack of racoons after everyone has gone to bed.

I have 2 adhd kids and they both stay on meds year round.  The oldest is now 20 and she doesn't like to drive until it's kicked in.  She will but doesn't like to if she can avoid it.  We let them eat whenever and whatever they want.  [/quote]
