clearly if the children are actually complaining that they cant sleep with hunger, something is wrong.
Jeez guys are we back in the 50's here or something? Young children get more than three meals a day because they need them. I'm pretty sure that the "three meals a day" thing is pretty old hat at this stage. My toddler has breakfast at home, at creche as morning snack, main meal at lunchtime, afternoon snack, then tea at home. Her snacks are fresh or dried fruit (eg raisins), yoghurts, and mini sandwiches. Three meals a day seems pretty draconian to me. Snacks aren't treats.
A snack is not a meal, it's a snack. If children need to eat more often, they should have smaller meals. Snacks should only be used as treats, again as positive reinforcement. (The food isn't the reward, the treat is. If your children don't understand that, don't give them snacks.)
i dont agree with this at all. Food shouldnt be used as any kind of reward with children! Its not dog training.
