My youngest son Dylan has been on a lunch time hunger strike for a while now. I ask him what he would like for lunch, and he always tells me he does not want lunch, and will not eat. I just could not figure it out.
Then one day when I asked him what he would like to eat for lunch he told me that he did not want to take a nap.
Nap??? Who said anything about a nap. I am talking sandwiches here.
But it makes perfect sense. We eat lunch, then he takes a nap. He obviously does not think he needs to take naps any more. And thinks that if he can avoid lunch, then he can avoid his nap. Nope does not work that way my friend. You still take a nap, even if you don't eat lunch.
I have tried letting him stay up and not take a nap, but his behavior later in the day proves that he still needs a nap. So the hunger strike continues.
