What kind of snacks do children like to eat?

It is the nature of children to like to eat snacks. There is no child who does not like to eat snacks, but are all snacks good for children's health? As parents, we must learn to judge what kind of snacks are suitable for children to eat. Such snacks are healthy, but what flavors of snacks do children like to eat?

It seems to be natural for children to love snacks. Popsicles, puffed foods, candies, chocolates, yogurt, ice cream, all kinds of snacks often make children salivate.

Children need a variety of nutrients for their growth and development. Natural foods are rich in nutrients. As long as parents arrange them reasonably, three meals a day with appropriate snacks can basically meet the nutritional needs. In addition, the sweet and crunchy taste of snacks can often stimulate children's appetite, so it is not necessary to simply abandon children's snacks. But we know that the energy and nutrients provided by snacks are relatively simple and limited, and cannot meet the needs of children's growth and development. It is also worth noting that children’s preference for snacks not only directly interferes with their normal staple food but also often has the opposite effect, leading to a decrease in appetite. According to market research, many snack foods contain added pigments, flavorings and preservatives, which can have a negative impact on children's health if consumed for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary for parents to control children's snacks.

The following measures can be used as a reference for parents:

1. Young children should develop the good habit of eating at regular times and in regular amounts from an early age.

2. The supply of snacks to children should be appropriate and their improper demands for snacks should not be met.

3. Parents should set an example themselves, correct their picky eating habits and set a good example for their children.

Dear parents, if you can pay more attention to your children's eating habits from an early age, I believe your children will be able to grow up healthily.

It doesn’t mean that we will give children whatever snacks they like. Some snacks are not good for children’s health and such snacks should not be given to children. Only snacks that are helpful to children should be given to them. I hope parents can understand this.
