[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just never found this to be a big deal. If a kid was hungry s/he can eat. Offer stuff like cheese, fruit, veggies, hummus. If they’re eating healthy foods, meals aren’t inherently better than “snacks.” Put the approved snacks where the kids can reach, and if they aren’t hungry enough for carrot sticks or an apple or whatever, they don’t have to eat. We definitely never had a snack schedule or limited healthy snacks. I’m an adult & snack when I’m hungry. My kids are now teen/tween age and seem to eat just fine. [/quote] Same- I don't limit snacks (but I do control what's available since I do the grocery shopping). My kids have never asked for more than 1 or 2 snacks a day and I am finr with that. OTH, they pester me for dessert almost nonstop so maybe I am not doing so great after all![/quote]
