[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no problem with snacks. I bet the kids would focus better with a snack. The 3 square meals a day rule came from when farmers had giant tables laden with food (read Farmer Boy to get an idea) for each meal. [b]Most cultures have a tea time or afternoon snack.[/b] This isn't a bratty American thing. Some kids (and adults!) do better eating smaller meals more frequently. Just because you and your kids don't fit into that mold doesn't mean it's wrong.[/quote] Actually it is a bratty American thing to demands snacks constantly. The tea times and afternoon snacks you mention are for special occasions. [/quote] One snack is different than "snacking constantly". And many cultures do eat more than 3 meals. My kids eat very healthy, but they wake up early and school starts late. They don't get snack, but my child who had lunch after recess said it was hard to enjoy recess because of hunger. [/quote]
