I wasn't sure where to put this. It probably isn't a discipline issue, but I didn't think it fit in LE or Allergies (but I could be wrong ;) ). So move where ever it is best.
When P gets hungry if we are not on top of it & very proactive he starts to misbehave. Not in the rage-y aggressive way he does when he has food dye, but in a mischevious sort of out of control way. If we miss his pre-hunger cues (and if I am not paying attention to the time to make sure he is on schedule for his meals) he will refuse to eat as well & I have to "force" some food in him (sometimes that "). Once he eats he settles down behavior-wise so I know it is related to hunger. But is this "normal" or an indicator of other potential problems? E is not like this at all (misbehaving due to hunger). I know how to prevent the problem (watch the time better), I know how to fix the problem (feed him), but I wasn't sure if it was something to be concerned about or not. Oh- this is not just at bedtime, it is all day long if I miss a snack or meal time (pretty predictable when I am on the ball).
