"Snack Questions" |
First off think back to when you were in grade school. I know for some of us this was a long time ago, but try. Did you have snack everyday during school?Those of you that are parents or teachers, are you now required or requesting that your child brings a morning and/or afternoon snack to school? I'm having trouble understanding why my second grader needs to graze all day instead of learning. I graze all day long at my desk I know it's not good and would rather not have her learn it so early in life. *Breezy ... keeping OT satisfied since 2003*

In a month or so they will forget all about snack time. Seems at the beginning of the year they make a big deal about making sure the kids have snacks. One year they had this thing where they wanted Moms to send enough snacks for the whole class, since the room mother didn't organize who sent what when, no one was doing it, then all of a sudden some Mom would put on a big production and bring cupcakes and drinks for a day. Huh? that's not snacks that's a party. Or some would send bags or candy, ugh. So I started asking Kate and she would tell me when they hadn't had snacks in awhile, so I would send 2 bags of baby carrot sticks, and a couple bags of those pink and white frosted animal cookies, or oatmeal cookies. The teacher could pass them out when they had time for snack, and they would last awhile. I felt better about that because then everyone had a snack. I think once they get past Kindergarten they are ok til Lunch, most kids get a snack after School anyway.

I went to kindergarten every other day for a full day because our community was too remote to bus just the kindergartners around. It seems to me that everyone brought a lunch and had a snack out of it at morning recess.Is it just me, or is it parents that should be responsible for this, not the school? I mean, each parent knows their own child and what he/she needs; if your kid gets hungry, he/she needs a snack, right? And isn't it better to have several small meals during the day than to stuff yourself three times? That way you're not starving at any point. Coconut: Eating several not-so-small meals a day

It's my understanding that the "best" meal plan would be to eat 6 times a day in smaller portions (obviously, this should be mostly "good for you" stuff as opposed to 2 "meals" of junk, LOL). Maybe the school is trying to provide the opportunity for kids to portion out their meals so? I don't know, but I do know that I feel better when I eat 6 times a day than when I eat 3 times a day (and I don't eat as much because I don't get as hungry).As I've always had a very high/fast metabolism, I got really hungry long before lunch and it was very hard to concentrate (being that I already have "focus" issues as it is) on an empty stomach. I think the problem wtih "obesity" isn't the amount of food kids eat but WHAT they eat. They probably eat less "food" overall than they used to, but eat more high fat, high calorie items than before (Lunchables are just one of the "downfalls" of nutrition, as I see it...sorry for any Lunchables fans out there). As someone else said, it's up to the parents, but if the schools won't allow kids (like me) who would be better off eating more often (smaller amounts), the parents don't have much "power" there, KWIM? Now if they are truly grazing all day (eating during class, throughout the day) that's a different story altogether. But, no, we didn't usually have snacks in school during school once we hit say 3rd grade (I believe we did though in 1st and 2nd). Now that I think about it, maybe we did? I do seem to recall many carrot stick/celery stick days during school...I just don't know!
