Raise a Smart Snacker!

Does your child snack all day? Raid the pantry when he gets home from school? Sneak snacks when you're not looking? Love to eat sweets and treats?

Healthy snacking can be a daily discussion (or battle!) between parents and their kids. Parents emphasize healthy snack food and kids just want what tastes good-often sweet, salty or fatty foods. If you have a love-hate relationship with kid snacks, you're not alone.

In The Smart Mom's Guide to Healthy Snacking, pediatric dietitian Jill Castle lays out the acronym SNACK SMART to outline a fail-proof strategy to teach your child healthy snacking habits and empower him to be a smart snacker. This book will teach you how to:·

• Set up a routine with snacking, from where and when, to what foods to serve·
• Choose snack foods, emphasizing nutritious options while including room for sweets and treats·
• Encourage mindful eating and appetite awareness with snacking·
• Make fast and healthy yummy snacks for kids that spark curiosity and fun·
• Monitor snacking without being a food cop·
• Respond to challenges around snacking like sneak snacking, overeating and unhealthy food choices

The Smart Mom's Guide to Healthy Snacking highlights healthy snack food ideas, on-the-go snack combinations, and recipes for healthy snacks. Take back the snack, lead your child to nutritious options, and teach healthy snacking habits!
