I've posted on here about this before but the problem has really escalated recently so really hoping someone has some good advice!
My 2 year old daughter spends her whole day looking for food, it seems to occupy her every thought and I can only distract her for so long before she asks for it again. It's slightly better if we are out of the house but if we are at home she just constantly stands pointing at the cupboard and shouting for snack, cheese, sweeties etc etc. I try to ignore her but she is very persistent and it's particularly embarrassing if we have someone in the house with us.
How has anyone else coped with this? I am paranoid she is going to end up huge, as she seems to eat so much more than other kids. I am always amazed when we are at toddler groups etc and parents have to persuade their kids to leave the toys and come and eat snack....my daughter is always the first one there! If we are playing at other kids houses, she has usually finished their snack and hers before they even come looking for it! It's mortifying!
She has become quite a wingey child lately in general (definitely the terrible twos) and is very strong willed and demanding. I hope it's just a phase as it's exhausting! Nothing seems to occupy her, she doesn't even settle for a story these days, so I'm getting no respite at all!
Any ideas/anything worked for others?
