Well, it seems the cycle of stress eating can start as early as two-and-three-quarters! Today my son told me that he needed a chocolate chip or a treat. When I told him that he couldn’t have one before dinner he said, “It will make me feel better, Mommy.” Yikes! Now, I’m pretty sure he didn’t learn this from my husband or I, but if not us, then where did he learn this? Probably the same place he learned the words “lollypop” and “gum”. The perils of letting him interact socially with other kids.
