[quote=Anonymous][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] Yes, afternoon snacks are totally and only an American phenomenon. :roll: How old, OP? My kid's school does snack for kindergarteners, but just for them.[/quote] My French teacher, a middle-aged woman from Alsace, used to talk about the snacks they had after school, which include a baguette stuffed with a chocolate bar.
