She loves seaweed snacks! But with this kid I worry that she will still mooch off her friends if they have stuff that is junkier than whatever I give her.Healthy Life Lessonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368510158658465422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536427016665655703.post-26177509522406588482011-06-23T10:33:54.770-07:002011-06-23T10:33:54.770-07:00I was your kid, and boy did I covet my friends'...I was your kid, and boy did I covet my friends' snacks. Since your daughter is so opinionated, maybe you could let her pick out her own snacks more often. Not at the grocery store, of course, where the options are endless, but from your own pantry/kitchen. That worked with my brothers. Just happened to not find fruit appetizing during snack time, but really liked cheese and whole grain crackers. Sure, we were down a serving of veggies/fruits, but it's not like they were eating the fruit anyway. <br /><br />Another option, although I know you are super busy, might be to bake a treat like the recipes you post and sneak in some extra nutrition with pureed fruits/veg, and have that be the snack for the week. <br /><br />She might still covet the junky snacks, but I bet you get some more good food in her this way.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252953539557435895noreply@blogger.com
