Description

Do you ever wonder whether your child really needs a bedtime snack?

Is it ruining dinner?
Could skipping it mean they won’t sleep because they’re hungry?
And honestly… who wants to be back in the kitchen again at 7:30 pm?

In today’s episode of The Intentional Table, we’re breaking down:

  • The real pros and cons of offering a bedtime snack
  • When it’s helpful—and when it might not be
  • How to use an evening snack without sabotaging dinner or dragging out bedtime

--> And I’m sharing exactly how I handle bedtime snacks in my own family
