It's Snack Time!


Snack time is often connected with childcare centers and preschoolers, but be aware it should be a part of every child's meal plan. It is a misconception that only young children need a snack to boost them throughout the day. Regardless of age, a snack time can be beneficial lifestyle habit. By promoting a small healthy snack in between meals, you can begin to develop a habit of proper portion control and an increased metabolism. 
Key things to remember: 
    • snacks should be eaten during snack time, not meals. 
    • snacks can be something not necessarily healthy, given that there is portion control
    • healthy can still be yummy
    • having it at the same time each day develops a routine
    • stay away from pop or other substances that can develop an addiction
