[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To start, we rarely snack. They get a snack at school, and one when they get home at 3. Otherwise, no snacks.

We switched to vegetable trays for snacks. If you’re hungry, you’ll eat it. If not, you won’t.

We went to the store together and picked out what they wanted to try. Then we cut them up together, in different shapes (cucumber circles vs spears) and put 3 dips in ramekins: hummus, ranch, and sour cream dip.

Then we made a little chart and tried them all! I found what combos they liked. And now I always have a little Tupperware in the fridge ready to go with that snack: cucumber spears and hummus or whatever.[/quote]

So you’re saying they get two snacks a day... like everyone else’s kids here. [/quote]

PP here. I didn’t read all the replies, honestly.

We don’t bring snacks to the park, and my kids don’t walk around with a snack, and we don’t snack in the car.
On school days they bring a snack, and have one when they get home (vegetable tray).
The weekends, they are offered the vegetable tray and dip.
