[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think you probably need to loosen up. If you’re this rigid with ANY system, it’s too much. Your kid is just going to go bananas as soon as they can break free. [/quote] +1 Rigidity around food will cause problems long term. Life is full of exceptions. My kid is a bit older, and if I didn't feed her a snack between school and her dance class she would absolutely melt down during class. On the day she has swimming lessons she eats breakfast, goes to swimming class, and eats another breakfast when we get home, then sometimes a later snack before lunch. She also has phases where she is clearly growing and just eats way more than usual, and then the next week eats really small portions. Kids are so different than adults with the variation in how many calories they need. The where you eat a snack, or the no walking and eating is a good rule, so I'd stick with that. [/quote]
