Seconds, thirds ?? How much is too much?

What about giving something with a little protein to fill them up better? I always try to include protein in the afternoon snack...cheese or yogurt or peanut butter for older kids. Carbs don't last as long in the tummy.

If only !!! lol I know that the after school child I had turned their nose up at yogurt, found cheese to be gross, wouldn't touch a banana, jam or peanut butter.

I think in a way it is true that I would have been better off and cheaper off just serving a 'meal' than a snack in this case. That never occurred to me. Once I was making lasagna and the dck said to me how they love lasagna and it smells so good but I just brushed it off thinking that they were just thinking of more ways to eat me out of house and home. lol

I guess the thing that worries me with anyone 3 years and up is that they can go home and complain and say you refused to feed them
