To be worried about son's friend?

[dani9223]

My son aged 8 has a good friend from school, lets call him Tom (not his real name).
Tom comes over to play at ours a couple of times a week and is a really nice boy, very good manners and always respectful. My concern is that, each time Tom comes, he makes a beeline to the kitchen and asks for something to eat. Tells me he's hungry every time he comes to our house. As he's such a sweet and nice boy who never forgets his manners, I don't mind feeding him. I'd never see a child go hungry but I'm just concerned that he's always hungry when he comes to ours. I don't really know his mum well enough to say anything. Do I mention it to school or anything?

My primary aged kids once went to the childminder in the holidays and joined her partner (registered assistant!) at the table for breakfast. At pick up she mentioned it, as in I usually give them breakfast. I'd given them breakfast that day! They conned their way into a second one!
In the absence of other signs it might just be that you have interesting food.

Is this after school? Isn’t he hungry for dinner?
