[quote=Anonymous]I think the hosting part is easy - your house, your rules. Food can stay in the kitchen/dining room. For me, offering snacks/drinks is just part of hosting, but at that age usually fruit was a hit with small visitors. Re: snacks while out - unless you are sticking rigidly to breakfast and lunch times, I might push back gently on your opposition to carrying a morning snack with you. My friend's totally healthy, normal weight 4 YO boy requires a second breakfast, an afternoon snack, and a bedtime snack in addition to his 3 squares - growth spurts happen and require extra calories. You don't *have* to give a snack to your child, but if he requests it (either because he sees other kids eating or he's genuinely hungry), you're prepared with something pre-approved.[/quote]
