Meal Wars – Part 4: The Child Who Asks for Snacks All the Time
Some children ask for snacks all the time. In this series, I have provided parents with some ideas to help you and your child cope between meals:
1. Provide regular meal and snack times. This will save you the worry that your child is going hungry and will help your child to curb a frequent snacking habit.
2. Children frequently mistake being tired or bored for being hungry. Help your child work out what they are truly feeling.
Ask if they are really hungry, but fight the urge to tell children, “You are not hungry.”

Meal Wars: The Struggle of Healthy Eating, Part 1
It is not uncommon for parents to wonder if they are doing the right by their child. Am I going to breastfeed my child? Should I use cloth or disposable diapers? Is he watching too much TV? How often should my child eat? While most parents can answer most of these questions for themselves, I can definitely help answer the last one.
