Well I make the rule sweet a day that is good and it depends on what you and you daughter together deicide for snacks or not it should not matter if her friends make fun of her they are NOT friends
snacks are a good thing for a child that age growing and all, just give her somthing nurtious like carrot sticks. do not give her candy. Sweets are okay but more as a reward for eating good , theres no reason why they should be given everyday. Infact i was only allowed candy or icecream and things once a week. If i wanted a sweet other days i had to chose between fruits and stuff.
Be very strickt on good eating habits from the beginning. Experience teaches that bad eating habits are often very difficult for people to lose.
So:
- no sweets
- no desert every day
- you have to buy a book on it or ask someone who can tell you
This is very important because if the child learns good eating habits for the first 18 years they will not drop those habits - if they learn bad habits - it is very difficult to get rid of them.
Giving snacks does not mean they have to be sugar, give her some healthy snacks, but you know it doesn't hurt to let them have a little sweet snack once a day. As long as they are eating well other wise.Let her have a snack, she will like it.
Why not give her one? You can always make it healthy, by giving her fruits and veggies. Even a lot of picky little kids like baby carrots and things like that....whole wheat crackers, pretzels, and things like that are good for snacks, too.
