[quote=Anonymous]I don't restrict food and especially not after school because often they really are just very hungry. But my rule with snacks is that it's fruit/veggie and/or protein only. So a fruit packet, blueberries, apple slices with peanut butter, carrots and hummus... all good. No crackers or foods that are primarily carbs. We have those with meals and I know she gets crackers as snacks at school, which is fine. But if she's asking for snack after snack but just wants crackers, Pirate's booty, etc., I take this to mean that she isn't hungry but bored. So I offer the fruit/veggie/protein and if she won't take it, I say she must not be that hungry. But if she wanted blueberries and carrots and yogurt? I'd be fine with that even if it meant a smaller dinner. It's all good food, and if she's hungry, she's hungry.[/quote]
