Offer a Healthy After School Snack
 Want to ensure your child gets nourished after school but still has room for dinner? The experts at www.kidshealth.org say that alhough kids need fewer snacks as they get older, most are hungry after school. Your first step is to look at your child's eating schedule and plan accordingly. Then, discuss what snacks your child might enjoy. By listing and then shopping for healthy foods together, you can help your child understand nutrition facts labels and learn to compare products. Next, make the healthy choices easier for your kids - packing them in their lunchboxes and make them visible, ready-to-eat, at home. For some creative and healthy ideas for kids snacks, visit kidshealth.org or check out our own suggestions for a Luvin' Lunchbox.
