[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. He grew up in a "kitchen is closed" kinda house so doesn't like when the kids start snacking so soon after dinner.

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!

If he skips a meal then leave his portion  in the fridge, that’s what he eats after dinner. Or he can eat an apple. Filling up on fake foods and sugar are the opposite of what he needs. With that diagnosis it should be 100% natural, nothing fake, nothing highly processed, mostly homemade diet. [/quote]

I would talk to your child's doctor, OP. I don't think this is good advice for all kids. Our DS was low on the growth charts, so literally eating anything with fat was recommended. [/quote]

That can be nachos with guacamole, banana with peanut butter, bagel with cream cheese. It doesn't need to involve neccessary sugar. Most of us aren't feeding our adhd kids ice cream at 9pm.[/quote]

I don't have a dog in this fight, but literally everything you listed is a sugar bomb. Banana with peanut butter is super sugary, same with a starchy white bagel and cream cheese.

Also, ADHD has nothing to do with diet for almost all kids.  You've been posting for years, and need to get off it. You sound like a tiktok RFK mom. [/quote]

Im not sure what you're referring to, I've never posted anything rfk related and dont have TikTok and haven't been on this board for years.

The peanut butter in our house doesn't have sugar. In fact we often grind our own, same with almonds, but when store bought its the kind with only peanuts and salt as ingredients.

Everyone can acknowledge the dietary difference between natural sugar in fruit and artificial sugar in commercial desserts.

The point of my post was to tell OP she can feed her adhd kid without making her other kids jealous. If they are also hungry for a pb sandwich, give it to them. Its not the same as offering ice cream before bed, and you know that![/quote]
