Show Notes

Whether you have already had spring break (like us here in Texas) or are getting packed up and ready to go, this episode is a must listen!   You will hear about the top SIX things to consider when it comes to safe, easy, and healthy snacking for kids on vacation, plus how to plan healthy travel snacks that align with:
  • Your Child's Safety (and where snacks are offered)
  • Your Structure/Daily Routines While on Vacation (and when snacks are offered)
  • Non-Perishable and Perishable Go-To Snack Ideas (and what snacks to offer)
  • Your Feeding Strategy (including who else is offering snacks when other friends or family is travelling with you and may have a different approach to snacking than you and your family)
  • Having a Limited Snack Supply (and the difference between letting your child decide if/whether and how much to eat when there are only so many snacks packed)
  • Food Allergies & Sensitivities (your own child's and those of children around you)
Consistent with the feeding roles I talk about each week, you will walk away from listening with a clear understanding of how each of these considerations impacts the next and how together, these play a big part in helping your family have a well-fueled and fun-filled trip… wherever you might be off to!
