Does your child really hungry?
I bet you know those times when your child says he or she is hungry, but you know it doesn't make sense since he or she just ate. It is true, they are not hungry, but they won't know that since this has been ingrained in their brains since childhood!!
If your child isn't able to distinguish between the "different types of hunger" (boredom, thirst, temptation, emotion, habits, etc...) their mind will keep thinking that every kind of those situation makes them feel hungry!
What can you do about it?
- Stop fighting with your child about whether they are hungry or not because it triggers emotions and puts them in survival mode.
- Try finding out which type of hunger they are most struggling with (by yourself)!
- Add more awareness between the moment your child thinks they are hungry and how they really feel, to break the old pathways.
- Get your kids into a routine that will help them stay away from mindless eating
