DS LOVES LOVES LOVES food. He will cry if I don't give him his food fast enough, and he cries when meal time is over. Right now I gave him a slice of apple and he loves to hold it and gnaw on it - but he is always dropping it. He cries so hard whenever it drops beyond his reach! It's so funny.

I was sharing this with my sister in law, who is going to school to be a health coach and she is especially interested in emotional eating and disorders since she was/is an emotional eater. Her teacher said that it's easy to tell if a child is an emotional eater right away because they either LOVE mealtime and cry when they don't get enough or when it's over; or they eat cause they have to and when they're done they're done. I thought this was SUPER interesting! She said it's so important to know because then you can raise your child accordingly.

Is your LO an emotional eat? Mine is!
