[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of disordered eating kids being raised.  Sometimes a snack is ok.[/quote]

+1 Was thinking the same. The children of these parents end up eating snacks in secret. [/quote]

No, they learn to eat good food when they’re hungry, not mindlessly stuff their faces with corn like a farm animal because someone has put a bag in front of them. It’s really disgusting if you think about it for more than a minute.

My kid's 4th grade class has an "unlimited snacks" policy, allowing kids to snack at any time in class, and they ask parents to bring in class snacks multiple times per month.  Her friend who is restricted from junk at home regularly eats 3 bags of chips per day in class.  My kid who is allowed Doritos and things on occasion doesn't even care for the snacks because she's not hungry in between her meals.  [b]It is always the kids who are restricted who eat the most junk when they get access.[/b][/quote]

I was the kid who was never restricted and also the kid who ate the most junk outside of the home too. People who easily self moderate often assume it's parenting choices that caused them to self moderate. Reality is that you have no idea if that friend would go home and still eat 3 more bags of chips a day, like young me.[/quote]
