![]() Children can't get all of the nutrients they need just from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's why you as a parent should think of snacking as a way to give your child extra nutrients for growing healthy and strong. They should have about 2-3 snacks a day, but they can't eat whatever and whenever they want.
