When is snack/lunch time?

[mom-in-alberta]

I care for a two and a half year old boy that is the same way, always asking to eat. He doesn't have a problem with the actual eating though. In fact, I have posted about "cutting him off". He is not starved, thats for sure.
But all day long with the "X's HUN-reeeee" (he always refers to himself in third person). Staring at my fridge and cupboard. I asked mom and she says he's the same at home.
I don't know. Do you think she might be bored? I've been a bored eater for as long as I can remember. Or maybe she's coming down with a tummy bug? If she's getting crampy tummies, maybe she THINKS she is hungry. My girls just had a nasty virus that caused stomach pains that came and went.

. Re: Bored. Yes, for sure I think that's it...she fleets from activity to activity in minutes, never settling on something for long at all. Funny thing is, her 1 year old sister is extremely independant and will play/create activities by herself no problem...on the rare occasion her sister actually leaves her alone and stops constantly redirecting her (when the 1 year old is contently playing by herself!). Definitely not a tummy bug; behaviour has benn ongoing since Jan., when she started. She starts school in Sept., I suspect it will be a challenge for her to focus.
