[quote=Anonymous]I have not controlled my kids snack habits since they were probably in 3rd and 5th grade. We keep quite a bit of junk food in the house. DH and I both eat in moderation, ensuring we have mostly healthy foods, balancing proteins, vegetables, grains etc., and provide healthy meals to the kids and always have. We exercise and are both fit and healthy. Modeling this for our kids seems to work, or at least help. Though we don't tell them what to have a for snacks, both kids gravitate to the more healthy options--cheese, fruit, yogurt. Neither would grab cookies or dessert type food as snack during the day. Both go for pretty big desserts after dinner, however. They are both healthy athletes who know that they can do that, since they make healthy choices all day and neither feels the need to deprive themselves. This, by the way, is the most thought I have put into my children's snacking, ever, in my life. I don't know how some of you have the time or energy to put that much thought into kids' snacking. It's nuts. [/quote]
