DS 12 takes many snacks to school each day. Is there such a thing as too many? They aren't especially unhealthy, but I'm wondering if I need to be teaching him some type of 'restraint'- that he doesn't need to eat at every free moment and indulge every craving?

How many is many? I would say 2-3 is normal, more might be a bit excessive.
Is he eating these instead of breakfast/ lunch?

My kids take too many snacks. Yes, I know they are always “hungry” ie cravey, but I don’t feel I can teach them restraint long distance, and if I don’t provide enough [in their eyes] they will be begging other kids, which is worse. So I let them take ‘too many’. I draw the line at food dyes, msg and hfcs. The rest of the day When they are home, it’s nutrient dense, high quality foods, and no snacking every minute.

Are you sure they're all for him?
