[quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing that if you and your dh can go hours without eating and feeling fine, you may not think your kid needs to eat as much as he probably does, so he's getting to the point of extreme hunger. I would examine the times of day he eats and make sure he eats every 3 hours, but make sure it has protein and healthy fats and fiber, not a handful of crackers or a few apple slices. I have friends who have forgotten to feed their kids because they're just not hungry, and it's just not fair to a kid who needs to eat more often than mom or dad. So don't blame the kid for their mood swing, be better about keeping him ahead of those blood sugar fluctuations that will cause the mood swings. [/quote]
