Is it okay to give kids snacks?

Snacking between meals might not sound like a good idea if you hope to lose weight. But kids really need them. According to Eat Right Org, “snacks are good for kids because they help them stay focused at school and on homework.” Snacks give the kids extra nutrients and keeps hunger away. But, they caution that they should be “mini-meals” rather than junk food.

The website cautions though, that moms and dads should plan for snack times. Like Jill Duggar does, this prevents non-stop snacking that might cause problems at main meal times. What did you think of the ideas that Jill and her fans shared about snacks for kids? Can you think of others they don’t mention? Sound off in the comments below.
