I have a 9.5 yr old dcb that is a big boy. He is as tall as me (5 ft LOL) and has a stocky build. He isn't overweight per se, just big all over. his feet are as big as mine (sz 8) and wears size 12-14 clothes. And my gosh, can he ever eat! and he inhales his food. If he is the first to be served,, he will be done by the time the last child has their food. He can eat 4 slices of toast at breakfast plus eggs and bacon. He will eat 2 bowls of cereal at breakfast, 2 sandwiches plus fruit/veggies at lunch or 2 bowls of soup, etc. at snack he can eat a bowl of fruit and 2 yogurts- he keeps telling me he is still hungry! We went to Pioneer Village last week and he ate his whole days worth of food in one sitting, after i told him to eat some now and save more for later. He claimed he was starving!. he ate his sandwich, granola bar, yogurt, apple and fruit pouch.

He is always hungry, he already wants to eat 10 min after arriving. I have suggested he eat at home before he comes so that he isn't starving but he didn't eat anything yesterday and today claims he had a yogurt tube. He eats more than me!. I don't know, I feel like that's a lot of food. Is this normal? My kids are average eaters and average height and weight for their ages, and i get that this kid is built bigger, but i don't know if i should mention anything to mom? I don't want to be rude or make the child self conscious or offend mom. Is it my place to say something? I feel like he is eating me out of house and home.
