Re: Appetite question

I thought I'd seen a rubric for this, but can't find...
When child goes too long without eating (which is often, as his appetite
is small anyway), his mood and behavior deteriorate more and more, until
mom realizes he must be hungry. But child insists he is *not* hungry,
does not want to eat -- until he is enticed to take a nibble (of
anything) -- when he suddenly realizes he *is* hungry -- very! -- and
will then eat a decent amount, and almost immediately his behavior and
mood (!!!) are dramatically improved.
I thought there was a rubric like, Appetite wanting, eating amel??? Or
some such?
Thanks,
Shannon
