[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best takeaway from "Bringing up Bebe" (an account of an American raising children in Paris) is that the only snack children have there is their "gouter." Served at about four, it's the only non-meal food French children expect. I am raising my daughter similarly and she's a healthy weight, growing well, and happy.

I'm guessing that child isn't in school yet. It's great that you can maintain that when you have total control over her eating schedule/environment, but you might find it doesn't work so well she she's eating breakfast at 7:30, lunch at 11 am (and gets 20 minutes to do so and there are a million distractions around so she only finishes about half her lunch), school runs until 3:40 but you're at the end of the bus route so she's not getting home until 4:30. Oh, and since she's then eating the snack at nearly 5 pm, good luck getting a decent dinner into her and hour or two later before you get her to bed by 8 pm so she's not a zombie for her 7 am wake-up.[/quote]
