Getting healthy snacks for kids to work the best is not just about the healthy snack tasting good, it’s just as important to not promote unhealthy snacks.
So by removing the temptation all together we found we had far less arguments and were able to avoid massive tantrums. This is a bit extreme but we found that not actually buying junk food all together has helped remarkable in the fight for promoting healthy snacks for kids.
Our little boy at very young age knew where the chips and soft drinks were kept. If we would tell him it was all gone he would flat out refuse to believe us until he could see with his own eyes that cupboard was empty of junk food. It still amazes me that even though some kids hadn’t even tasted a chip before they still really really really wanted it. It’s like they have a sixth sense for things which are bad for them. Hey I guess they are exactly like us, I think I should start listening to my own advice. So basically if there are only healthy snacks for kids in the house and no junk food you will hopefully much better for it.
Note: It will take a while for it to sink in that all the bad food is gone but it will sink in. No I’m not talking about you I’m talking about your child
