[quote=Anonymous]If they are reasonably good esters then it’s okay to be strict. We eat one snack at 9am, and they must be done with chores (at those ages it was make their beds, and tidy their room) and be changed out of pajamas into their daytime clothes. Lunch at 11:30. (This is out biggest meal of the day.) Snack at 2:30/3pm. Dinner 5pm. We always have a “dessert” of some sort, sometimes just a bowl of sugary cereal, sometimes cookies or pie or whatever we’ve baked. Unlimited water. Even a three year old can read a digital clock. They aren’t really hungry, it’s a behavior problem. I don’t allow unlimited snack for many reasons, one of which is it’s just annoying to constantly be preparing and cleaning up food. I’m not a maid.
