Snack Attack: Are your kids fixated on snacks?
Try this:
- Ditch the wrappers! Decant snacks from wrappers and serve them on a plate or in a lunch box just like other food.
- Motivation unwrapped: Snacks in wrappers are exciting for kids because they're like unwrapping a present - they’re shiny, make a noise when you open them and make the snacks inside more enticing!
- Treat all food the same: presenting snacks like other foods in their raw forms helps to reduce the snack obsession and promote balanced eating.
