[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This obsession of always having a snack ready, packing snacks wherever you go, or making a special stop for a snack, is way out of control.[/quote] I understand doing this when kids are small because it's easier for the parents, but really, it's fine--better, even--to be hungry before a meal.[/quote] There's a fine line with my daughter (7) -- if she gets too hungry before a meal, then she'll start crying over some imaginary issue and I can't get her to calm down enough to eat. I've gotten good at coming up with small, nutritious snacks to keep her mood steady.[/quote] When my girls are hungry before dinner, I give them the veggies from dinner to gnaw on while I keep making it. If that means they eat raw broccoli instead of roasted, that's fine. If it means they eat carrot sticks and sliced green pepper instead of brussel sprouts it's fine. [/quote]
