Well timed, healthy snacks can even out hunger spikes and provide an energy boost between meals, without negatively impacting the essential daily nutrient intake of your child. Sweets and confectionery, however, tend to increase sugar levels and give your child a false sense of satisfaction. These increased sugar levels tend to increase resistance to insulin, which is a vital hormone to control blood sugar and leads to interference with neurotransmitters which control mood. This can lead to anxiety and depression in children. Snacking on crisps, which are low in vitamins and minerals, can leave your child feeling full and also stop them from eating a healthy, balanced meal. This could explain the awful temper tantrums children have, after snacking on crisps or cake, when feeling hungry.

Yesterday, one of our worst nightmares almost happened to us. We headed off to Muizenberg beach, and after only about ten minutes on the beach, someone tried to take my daughter. I am writing to you so you can understand what happened, and how our best efforts at training and teaching her went to waste. The beach was full, but we found a fairly ‘socially distant’ area to sit down. I put down my bag, put out the blanket while my daughter went to play in the water, I had my baby with me, changing her into her costume. A few minutes later, a man approached my daughter, in swimming trunks and started speaking to her, he then picked her up and helped her jump over the waves. They were talking. My alarm bells went off, I left all our stuff and ran into the water. He kept moving away from me, still very friendly. Eventually he started walking off with her, at this point I went to take my daughter away from him. All this time he was still smiling and walked back with us to my bag. I got the kids in towels, and he put his hand on my bag, asking where my husband is, how old my kids are etc, and eventually asked if my phone was in my bag. I picked everyone up and walked back to the car, only to then be followed by this man, and three of his friends. No aggression, just laughing, friendly. I stuffed everything into our car, and got the heck out of there as fast as I could. I asked my daughter what happened, she said, he was friendly, he wasn’t a bad guy. ‘I didn’t want to go with him, but he was a good guy’. We have literally practiced kicking, screaming, biting and a phrase to scream in such situations, but when it happened, he was so friendly, she didn’t register she was in danger. Even now, I’m not sure she understands how dangerous the situation was. We are going to be rethinking our routines, attitudes to people and what we train her to do. |
