In my house, it's dependent on nutrition needs of each kid: one is underweight and has allergies to peanuts and tree nuts, the other has to guard against her sweet tooth and is borderline overweight.

So... yes, I do supervise snacking. Nut free and calorie-heavy for one, and light snacks for the other.

Gosh I hope you have little kids, and not a teen daughter. [/quote]

PP here. My child with a sweet tooth is 10. I know DCUM people are obsessed with eating disorders and self-image around food, but I have zero concerns regarding this. We're not American, which probably helps - our parenting is rather more direct and blunt. My mother told me not to eat too much of this and that otherwise I'd get fat, and it worked, so I do the same for my kid. I don't have food issues, no one has in the family, I don't anticipate my kids will have either. She's learning to self-regulate but still needs guidance, especially with her sister who's been on a weight-gaining diet since birth.
