Why don’t I ban my kids from eating snacks?

Before she was one year old, I raised my daughter strictly according to the book. No matter what others say, I have never given her salt or sugar, let alone snacks full of additives. As my daughter grew older, I became less meticulous in feeding her. Every time I take her out to play and see other children eating, she will open her mouth and ask for it. Usually other adults will give her a little, and she will take it and eat it happily. I think it’s not good to ask for other people’s things all the time, so I prepare some snacks and put them in my bag when I go out. When my daughter wants to eat, I take it out to her and let her share it with other children. As she got older, her daughter saw many advertisements about food on her mobile phone and TV, and words such as \”Funny Egg\” and \”Planet Cup\” began to pop up in her mouth. When she went to the supermarket, she always lingered in the snack section and kept saying, \”Mom, I want to eat this.\” There were many snacks that my daughter had never eaten, so she was full of curiosity. Once she was very interested in a kind of colorful chocolate beans, so I bought a bag for her. As a result, my daughter opened one and tasted one. She found that it was not delicious, so she gave me the rest and never asked to eat it again. But if I don\’t buy it for her, she will always miss it. Of course I know that snacks are junk food, but even if I don’t let my daughter have access to them, she may still have access to them elsewhere. It\’s better to let her get used to it, so she won\’t always think about it. She tasted many things once and found that they were just that, and she soon lost interest. There is a child in our community. Her parents never let her eat snacks at home. But her parents have to go to work and can\’t stay with her 24 hours a day. During the day, her grandma usually takes her out to play. In order to reduce her crying, grandma would secretly buy snacks for her from the store at the door. This child is very exaggerated when eating snacks. He stuffs everything into his mouth no matter what. She is a year younger than my daughter, but she eats snacks much faster. Her grandma explained that because she couldn’t eat it at home, she ate as much as she could. Almost every child has the desire to open the colorfully packaged snacks and eat them. If children\’s desires are not satisfied for a long time, they will be very depressed. Once they have the opportunity to release their desires, they will often do some unexpected things. I once read a story about a mother who forbade her son to eat chocolate. No matter how much he begged, she would not give it to him. Later, the son went to school out of town, and his mother could no longer control him, so he began to buy chocolates crazily, and even three meals a day were not delicious. When she returned home during the winter vacation, the mother discovered that her son had gained a lot of weight and his health was not as good as before. The mother regretted greatly when she learned that her son had spent all the money he spent on eating chocolates. If you let your son try chocolate from time to time when he was young, he would not be as crazy as he was later. If your child is too restricted to something so that he never gets it when he wants it, then he is likely to use unfair means to get it where you can\’t see it. I always believe that children\’s desires can only be relaxed but not blocked, and proper satisfaction is the right decision. friend beiBay said a child, I was impressed. This child lives across the street from her. Her parents are both intellectuals and have a good income. But there is no TV in her home because her parents don\’t let her watch it. Beibei\’s daughter is the same age as the child, so the child\’s grandmother will take her to play at Beibei\’s house from time to time. Beibei\’s house has a TV, and she often tunes in to the children\’s channel. Every time this child went to Beibei\’s house, she would stare at the TV intently. She would never answer when adults talked to her, and would rather pee in her pants than move. On the contrary, because Beibei\’s daughter can often watch TV, she doesn\’t find it strange. Most of the time the TV was on and she was playing with various toys. This happens to me sometimes when I take my daughter out to play. My daughter was eating the snacks with gusto. Suddenly, a child jumped out from beside her and snatched her snacks away. My daughter would never do such a thing. When she got older, she would refuse snacks given to her by saying that she had them at home. Of course, just because I don’t ban my daughter from eating snacks doesn’t mean that I will let her eat them without restraint. Every time I go to the supermarket, I only allow her to buy one snack. At times like this, my daughter suffers from difficulty in choosing. She often changes her mind before picking up an item and takes two steps, so she puts it back and picks up another item. I never rush her and give her enough time to make a decision. In the end, my daughter will choose her favorite and happily wait for me to pay. Snacks are not a scourge, but being too restrictive can lead to the other extreme. Therefore, I suggest that parents, when their children want to eat snacks, satisfy them appropriately.
