Bananas are always great. Mini bags of pretzels. Cheese sticks. Crackers.

My goodness. Break the pattern.

How, exactly are you proposing that I should shift his metabolism?

Does your kindergartener get to eat something at school immediately after bkth PE & recess? If nit, does he have a meltdown at school?

I'm a NP, but my child goes to a school where there are no snacks in K and a very long day (Moco) and my child did have blood sugar meltdowns despite substantial breakfasts. Every child is different--some kids (and grown ups!) need to eat more frequently than others. Congrats if you and your kids can eat 3 squares a day and be fine. And for the record, I started the anti-post-game snack for my child's soccer team. In case you thought I was the giant snack bag distributing parent.

np. Well this sounds like the opposite extreme. Kids do need some snacks. I'd be having a meltdown too. But many kids, and adults, are snacking way more than anyone needs to be. And on total junk.

I bring Oreos and m&ms. The joy these kids have at eating something their parents never let them have makes it all worth it.

This thread reminds me of the Everybody Loves Raymond episode on snack choices at soccer. You are all THOSE moms.

Please don't bring nut-products. Some children might simply assume that the unlabeled bag of Cheerios have no-nuts.

Yup. Our team of 12 kids has four boys with nut allergy

I don't know but when you figure it out let me know- my 66 year old MIL, my DH and now my oldest son are all like this- my bag is full of random foods when I have them all in tow!

He's not working that hard during a K game. He doesn't need the snack. He expects it.

Have you met him?

Oh FFS. If your kid needs a snack, by all means, bring him a snack. I don't know why I (and other parents) have to provide it.
