[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it dumb?  They just ran hard for you for 60 minutes, presumably something you are proud of and want them to enjoy and continue doing, maybe even advance if they're up for it.  You want to begrudge them a juice box afterwards?[/quote]

Because they didn't run for 60 minutes. They were at the field for 60 minutes just as you were, does that mean that you need a snack too? Most of the snack craziness is at U-little Rec. The games are not long, nor are they physically demanding. Playing time is generally divided and kids get enough rest in between their shifts. They do not need a snack after this. Feed them a quality dinner the night before and a sensible breakfast and they will be fine.

If the kids "look forward to the snack" then they are being bribed to play and all of you are doing it for the wrong reason. If they had fun they should want to keep playing not thinking about the snack at the end.

It is a stupid waste of time that parents agonize over and there is no reason for it. [/quote]
