My Tummy Doesn't Know When It's Full (Paperback)

Paperback. What if your child's body kept saying "I'm hungry" even when everyone else had already moved on? My Tummy Doesn't Know When It's Full is a warm, beautifully illustrated story and learning guide that helps children understand Prader-Willi syndrome with compassion, clarity, and hope The Challenge For children living with Prader-Willi syndrome, hunger can feel freely strong and persistent. Food routines, unexpected changes, social situations, and questions from other children can sometimes bring frustration, worry, embarrassment, or big emotions. At the same time, friends, siblings, classmates, and even adults may not fully understand why a child needs different routines or support. Without the right exploration, persistent hunger can be mistaken for greed, food plans can look unfair, and well-meaning friends may not know how to help.A Gentle, Child-Friendly Way to Understand PWS Through Milo's everyday experiences with family, school, friends, meals, celebrations, changing plans, and the things he loves most, This book takes readers inside the emotional world of a child with Prader-Willi syndrome. Rather than defining Milo by his diagnosis, the story shows a funny, creative, curious child who loves rocks, friendship, learning, and big ideas. Along the way, children discover what hyperphagia can feel like, why predictable food routines can provide reassurance, how big feelings can be named, and why getting different support does not mean being treated unfairly.The story is supported by an engaging learning guide that makes complex ideas easier for young readers to understand without making the book feel clinical or overflowing.
