Hydration
A thirsty kid may feel like snacking. If you are sure that your kid had a good meal just a while ago and is getting ready to snack again, ensure that you provide water instead of a snack. Ensure that your kids drink sufficient water.

Hide Everything
The mere sight of tasty snacks would tempt even adults. How can children control their cravings? Ensure that you hide all those snacks inside the shelves and take them out only when necessary.

Time
Offer snacks at the right time. Sense your kids' hunger and give the snacks only when they really need them; not when you want them to eat. When a kid is already full, stuffing him or her with snacks would be unhealthy.

Light
Choose snacks that are below 100 calories. Anything heavier than that would make your kid obese after a period of time.
