Yeah, my immediate thought (we have extended-family experience with adoption of traumatized kids, although not within my nuclear family) was that it’s best for now to keep candy out of the house, and have allowed snacks available at all times... but I do get that binging and hoarding (especially hiding food and winding up with rotten things or insects) may make the latter impossible.

Those poor kids really need therapeutic consistency, and I deeply feel for the parents struggling to get respite care that is equipped to deal with their behaviors.
