Smart Snacking
"Don't eat that, you'll spoil your appetite." If only you had a dollar for every time you heard that growing up.
But if the right foods are offered at the right times, snacks can play an important role in managing kids' hunger and boosting nutrition. A well-timed snack can even out spikes in hunger and provide a much-needed energy boost between meals.
Snacks can keep younger children from getting so hungry that they become cranky, and they can keep older kids from overeating at larger meals. And for picky eaters of all ages, snacks can be added insurance that they're getting the necessary nutrients.
This doesn't mean that giving your child a cupcake half an hour before dinner is suddenly a good idea. The best snacks are nutritious — low in sugar, fat, and salt. Fresh fruit and vegetables and foods that contain whole grains and protein are also good choices.
But it's not just about what you offer as a snack — it's how much you serve and when. Pay attention to portion sizes and timing of snacks so they don't interfere with a child's appetite for the next scheduled meal.
Kids who are allowed to graze all day long often have a hard time figuring out when they're truly hungry — one key to maintaining a healthy weight in childhood and later in life. A structured meal and snack schedule is one solution. You offer the meals and snacks at the same times each day, and your kids can decide what they want to eat and how much.
I'd say true, if its persuasive writing or something
<span>Monotonous is to dull, boring, tedious, droning or <span>repetitious </span></span>
Monotonous means the lack in variety.
<span>
Musically speaking, it means an unvarying tone or pitch. But since your
analogy is started by an adjective, we have to pair it with an adjective too.
So you can pick one from any of these: dull, boring, tedious, droning or <span>repetitious </span></span>

English class is like receiving presents on your birthday

English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.
<span>Similes are comparisons using
the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of
understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the
understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will
compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most
likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most
readers. Because not everyone may have
the same perspective of an English class as you, for instance, one way to
convey an idea of what English class is to you, the use of a simile would work well. If you enjoyed your English class you might
compare it to something you know your general audience enjoys and write
something like “English class is like receiving presents on your birthday”
because of how each day’s knowledge is wonderful surprising experience for
you. If you hated English class, you
might write something like English class is like having to sit through a movie
you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over. As you can see the use of similes make
writing more expressively.</span>
