[quote=Anonymous]1 tiny 10 year old. I have a box of snacks in the kitchen. She is basically welcome to help herself to any food in the house. By that age, I think it's a good life skill for them to be fixing the snack and then cleaning up themselves. OP, I think you do sound overly focused and micromanaging snacks. It's fine to balance the week not the day. For your older kid, they should be recognizing and following their own cues and learning from natural consequences (if I eat a ton of dairy in one day I feel bad or if I eat a ton of sugar I get a headache). I grew up in a home where food was very restricted and suffered from strange and disordered eating for years after leaving home. My kid who has control over her choices chooses to eat lots of healthy food and some treats.[/quote]
