How We’re Tackling the Endless Stream of Unwanted Snacks

Every time we visit family or friends, it feels like my kids are offered snacks at every turn—most of them sugary or processed. At first, I didn’t want to seem ungrateful, but I started noticing how these constant treats affected my kids’ moods and appetites. One day, after a particularly snack-heavy afternoon, my youngest barely touched her dinner. That was my wake-up call. Now, I gently set boundaries with loved ones and pack our own healthier options when we’re out. It’s not always easy, but seeing my kids enjoy real food again makes it worth it.
