[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't agree with PP, but I also think you are overemphasizing the degree to which being allowed to have snacks necessarily eliminates binge eating issues. We allow my son to have dessert every single evening, but still major issues with him sneaking downstairs and eating a huge amount of food in the middle of the night. If we don't have snacks, he will eat a bag of bread, or box of crackers. His doctor thinks it may be a dopamine issue due to ADHD, but thus far, adjusting his medication has not helped.

Are you talking about a growing teen/tween?

I posted before having 12 and 14yo boys often eating a second dinner. I don’t consider this a problem. They sometimes get hungry. I do not monitor their eating and definitely would not think eating when hungry at night to be an eating disorder or an offense.[/quote]

We are fine with him having a second dinner, and he sometimes does, but that is not the type of behavior I am referring to here.

Both his doctor and psychiatrist have confirmed that his current nighttime eating pattern is not normal, and I trust their judgment.[/quote]
