[quote=Anonymous]Kids are in elementary school now, but generally we reserve snacks for driving and plane trips. We walk home from school and I start dinner, if the kids are very hungry, I steer them toward fruit, but if DS eats too much, he won't have room for dinner. Luckily they generally have screen time (another issue altogether) until dinner is ready. On weekends if kids ask for food, we try to give them leftovers or make a sandwich. But, in general, I think being familiar with a feeling of hunger is a good thing and I don't immediately rush to feed them. Of course, my kids don't turn into monsters from Hell when they get hungry, so this helps.[/quote]
