Give Snacks at Appropriate Time

Try to allow snacks only if more than an hour before the next meal so that children will still be hungry at mealtimes. Also try to restrict a snack to at least an hour after the last meal so that children don't get the idea that they can refuse a meal and then get something else to eat shortly afterwards.
