Back-to-school season signals sports, schedules and one other important staple -- snacks.
If you hear, “I’m hungry!” the second your child hops in the car, you’re in good company. It’s common for kids to have an appetite after school. School-aged children eat early in the day, oftentimes before noon. It’s no wonder they crave mid-afternoon munchies! It’s important for your kids to have perfectly portioned snacks – you want them to feel satisfied without spoiling their dinner. A nutritious diet, including both meals and snacks, aids in strong bones, teeth and gums.
Your kids may be in the same family, but it doesn’t mean they’re on the same schedule.
