If that is what your child does on the field then maybe you should pull them from organized sports and let them play in a meadow instead. |
People bring the small cucumbers to games and the kids love them. I thought it was odd at first but there are never leftovers, the kids are into them. |
Ice cream sundae bar |
We just did mandarins, capri suns, fruit leathers and veggie sticks. My personal children usually don’t eat much immediately following their games but some do. This is a pretty typical list for their teams. |
Perhaps you should pull yours and put them in Olympic training since they’re such athletes. We’re talking about 5 and 6;year olds you moron. Yes they play in the dirt sometimes. |
The way you do one thing is the way you do everything. It’s never too early to teach kids about how you treat their bodies and yes, after running around for an hour on a soccer field, you should teach them about recovery. Is it a true recovery like you’re some bodybuilder of course not, but never too early to teach them How to fuel your body for success. |
DP… We are not only talking about five and six-year-olds. Elementary school goes up to six grade in which many kids are already participating in travel sports. Doesn’t matter how old your kid is but if you’re teaching them that you put Oreos and processed foods in their body after expending energy/exercising… they’re going to have a tough life with regard to their health |
Eliminate the snack. |
They only allow snacks in rec sports. I wonder why. |
BS - our travel soccer teams have snack signups as well. I’m not a fan, I’d rather just bring something for my own kid - but if you frequently have a long drive home and they’ve been out there for 90 minutes warming up and playing they do appreciate a snack. Several of the kids are coming from/heading straight to another game for a rec team or another sport, and if they have 4 games back to back on a Sunday the quick sugar hit can help get them through. |
Relax Jan. It’s ok |
My oldest is in high school and I think the only way I might get her to break a sweat is if I promised Oreos afterwards. Seriously, I might try this. Thanks for the idea! |
That’s not really something to brag about lol |
Not hot Cheetos.
-yes this was snack brought for our first grade girls today. Yes by a dad. No it was not a hit |
Soon enough, you’ll all wish post-game Oreos were your biggest concern. |
