[quote=Anonymous]We have a shelf in the pantry which is for the kids’ snacks. They’ve been able to help themselves forever within reason - they can only have veggies, fruit or milk within an hour before dinner, and they pretty much self-regulate. Our eldest was never a big snacker and even today isn’t but the younger two always wants snacks after school - usually several different fruits and veggies, a yogurt or yogurt smoothie, something crunchy (popcorn, freeze dried snap peas, occasionally pita chips or crackers). They’re 8, 10 & 13 now and have definitely been feeding themselves for years. Even my youngest has been getting his own breakfast since he was about 5, and during the pandemic they all learned basic cooking skills. [/quote]
