It is described in the booklet “To Bring or Not to Bring”. Become familiar with these steps yourself. We also talked about the variety of snacks available to them. You have the opportunity to reinforce at home what was merely introduced in clinic with the following activity. Challenge your child to choose his or her after school snack each day with these guidelines: Choose one snack food that provides 1 phe exchange=15 mg phe Choose one snack food that is a free food Ahead of time you will need to: talk about snack food preferences maybe look through the low pro food guide for ideas have a variety of snacks on hand (this may mean having some homemade snacks in the freezer). What will this accomplish? It allows your child to practice making decisions about matters of minor consequence. Your child will gain confidence in making decisions and will have the skills to then apply the decision-making steps to issues of greater importance. He or she will become comfortable with the idea of an “exchange” or counting mgs of phe. Your child will become familiar with which foods are more or less filling in a one exchange (15 mg) portion and will be able to learn to satisfy his or her hunger appropriately. Finish off this activity by having your child record the snack on the Phe Check-off. Give him or her some space to experiment but be available to support and instruct as needed. By doing all of these things you are fostering your child’s independence and building confidence. That’s a snack with something more!
