Enjoy Your Children and Parenting!

This article talks about a study done at the University of Michigan where researchers had kids wait for a certain amount of time before eating sweet treats. If they waited the delegated 7 minutes they could have a large portion of it. If they could not wait they were asked to ring a bell for the examiner to come back and they then could have a smaller portion. They tested 805 children and 47% failed the test. Their tests showed that those who could not wait were 29% more likely to be overweight by age 11. First try healthier snacks if your child is hungry. Or try limiting their eating to mostly meal times instead of letting them snack all day long.
