I have the dirt eater here and he's almost 4 (in may) its iron he's lacking. But his mom keeps saying he'll outgrow it. He ate a dirty kleenex out of my gravol oil stained driveway. He eats sand like its a meal, he's now sneaking in the closet and eating the dirt off of the shoes. BUT, none of this behavior happens on my watch (the driveway thing happened when mom was here) I don't know if its because he eats crap all day or what. Instead of eating meals, they feed him "snacks" which they claim are healthy. He has also drank the maple syrup out of the bottle. He starts school in sept. I can see him eating chalk and glue.
I also find that when he's here, I feed him food with more iron, less sugar. Sugar is another problem with him.
