Wait, spend time to teach my kid food is a way out of boredom?
I prefer to give him simple food when he is hungry.
With the exception of two, all of these are not-so-healthy, sugar-laden snacks. I would rather see creative ways to fix healthy food. My kids have no boredom or hesitation eating sugar.
I think they mean get rid of boring snacks.. correct me if I am wrong.
Yeah, not sure kids need to be cajoled into eating sugary junk food. There iis a difference between snack and dessert.
good~
Not impressed with all the sugar
