I do a little of both with our son who has been home 2.5 years. Sometimes I make him wait, and other times I give him some fruit. It depends on the time. I agree Heidi.

If we are leaving to go anywhere, he has to run back to the kitchen and grab food to bring in the car. Usually it is a piece of fruit.<br /> <br /> He whines ALOT when he is hungry and can't seem to delay gratification if food is cooking and he wants it now. He has gotten better over the past month, but still acts much younger than his age when it comes to eating and food. <br /> <br /> I tend to let him have a small healthy snack such as a banana if the meal is going to be more than 15 minutes in the future. My DH thinks that I should make him wait, but for me, it is easier to take the edge off of his hunger and have a happy boy at mealtime than one who is whining the entire time the meal is being made.
