After school/afternoon snacks
My mindee (6) is complaining about the snacks on offer after school and I'm just wondering what you all do?
We do snacks of strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cathedral city cheddar nibble packets, fromage frais and sometimes things we've baked or cooked. Sometimes we have home made Lollys if it's hot. She's a fussy eater anyway but yesterday she was whining she was hungry...she was offered two lots of strawberries, offered a sandwich - she said no, offered a banana, she said no. Wanted crisps, chocolate yoghurt etc which I didn't have and wouldn't give her as its unhealthy and sets a precedent. When I get more children it will become even harder to cater to her fussiness as there will probably one be one or two snacks on offer each day and that'll be it. It's getting really annoying to be honest! Dreading the summer holidays, should I tell parents to send s packed lunch with her?
