Kids’ activities — from sports to parties — often are centered around snack times. But is there anything you can do to prevent overeating?

The American Council on Exercise suggests:

• Teaching children to pay attention to their hunger and fullness cues. If your child isn’t hungry when a snack is offered, teach the child to politely decline.
• The child should stop eating the snack when the feeling of fullness sets in.
• Occasionally, a less-than-healthy snack is OK, as long as you’re offering healthy meals at home.
