Even if it's not the time you typically have a snack or if it's past a certain time at night, honoring your hunger is so much more important than going by what the clock says.

  • Finishing up prepping for our meal tonight and I am *hungry*! That Instant Pot can't beep that it's ready soon enough.⏳😂Anybody else relate?! . Coming to the table comfortably hungry is a good thing. While snacks are great (I have multiple a day!🙈), when they're eaten all-day-every-day with no schedule or consistency, we shouldn't be surprised when kids (or you!) don't want to eat when dinner finally rolls around. . This is a super common culprit for why kids appear to be picky eaters. In reality, they may have already met their caloric needs for the day and no longer need any more food. Kiddos are so much better at regulating their hunger than adults, so even though we sometimes eat even when we're not hungry (break room treats, anyone?🙋🏼‍♀️), kids usually won't. . Rather than letting your kiddo dictate when he or she gets a snack (mom, can I have a snack?! x20 throughout the day🙄), offer planned snacks consistently throughout the day that's appropriate for your kiddo. . It's good for kids to notice what it feels like to feel hungry! When they're grazing all day, they can lose their ability to recognize when they're hungry and full. . In between snacks and meals, let your kiddos know that the kitchen is closed. If this is new, you'll likely have some push back, but they'll get the hang of the new schedule and you'll see their eating improve! . . . #madisonwisconsin #madisonmom #madisonmoms #momsofinstagram #motherhood #dietitian #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #privatepractice #nutritioncoaching #pickyeaters #pickyeating #intuitiveeaters #intuitiveeating #karahoerrnutrition #wisconsin #toddlerlife #pickyeater #healthyfamily #mommyhood #busymomlife #feedingtoddlers #sahmlife #wahmlife #momlifeishard #kitchenclosed #snacks #mealtime
