Typically, children eat three meals a day. Often you as a parent can control what children eat at these meal times. However, more often than not it is what a child eats between meals that can really make a difference to their health. Too often children and adults reach for fast options; chips, chocolate, biscuits and cakes. A piece of fruit sometimes seems boring and insufficient.
