Does anyone else’s kid survive on snacks and snacks only?

@ruanddrew My kid eats mostly healthy snacks (and too much candy) but also does pretty well at meal times. If they don’t eat their food, they don’t get a garbage filler snack later. A few missed meals and they will learn pretty quick. If they learn that they can get away with not eating and then only surviving on snacks, they will do it.

@ruanddrew Thank you for posting this! I’m in a similar boat with my 3.5 yo and I constantly feel guilty. He loves all kinds of fruit and Honey Nut Cheerios, but other than that it’s a struggle to get him to eat anything other than fruit snacks, peanut butter crackers & goldfish. We can sometimes get him to eat chicken tenders (doused in ketchup), pancakes & peanut butter/jelly but like it’s soooo frustrating that he won’t eat anything else. I feel so SEEN right now!
