Wow! Reggio...really three bananas for one kid? You must spend a fortune on food! I agree that if they are active they need more, but I have actually reduced how much I serve at snacks a bit and I personally, actually limit the fruit a bit because it makes my group poop like crazy! Plus, it is a lot of sugar, even though it is natural sugar and healthy in the right amounts. Now, I do serve fruit usually twice a day, but I wouldn't serve more than one banana per child or the equvalent serving of other fruits plus a grain or yogurt, cheese etc. I tell them, it is a snack, not a meal. At lunchtime I serve repeatedly, but it is because I give small portions so I don't end up throwing food away. I actually do have kids who will ask for more and more and more broccoli I keep serving until it is all gone. I get Reggio's point about activity level, but I also get Sarah's point about teaching them appropriate eating habits. It's a balance and I am sure both of you are doing well with it
