[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 299985, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Sharon, the tweedles both hoard food. They don't necessarily eat it; it just needs to be nearby. I stopped bringing in ice cream & the like. I started making my own pudding cups & jello cups (enough for the day). That plus yogurt (the twix kind for kids). I set up a snack basket each day ~ once it was gone snacking was over the day as well. The basket included fruit, veggies, crackers, popcorn. It also had fun things like fruit snacks, a portion of cookies put in a sandwich bag, pudding or jello snack note to be handed in to me for use. This actually worked for a bit of time ~ we still found food hoarded. It was based on their level of anxiety. Once that anxious time was treated, addressed the need for constant food diminished. The tweedles still hoard on occasion. I've taught them & they still read the portion & use that for their snack. I introduced fruit dips & veggie dips. Something to consider. If it's medications I'm all for locking things up. When it comes to locking up the kitchen for what may be anxiety, a growth spurt or just plain boredom I'm more reluctant to take those steps.
