[quote=Anonymous]We did the Ellyn Satter thing. Her recommendation for preschoolers is a sit down snack mid morning and mid afternoon, where the adult chooses what's available, but generally a couple foods from different food groups, and the kids choose how much, and we all sit down and enjoy the food together. When my youngest was in Kindergarten, we shifted to them being able to pick their snack from things on certain shelves of the fridge or cupboards (this was to prevent them from choosing an ingredient I had bought for a specific meal), but we still all sat together at that designated time, and ate together. Other than that, they didn't eat between meals. [/quote]
