We're all in this together and parents everywhere are taking to social media to share all the different ways they're combatting bored kids who are suddenly eating everything in sight now that they're home full time. Whether it's a helpful daily schedule or a snack hack to help kids keep track of their days, every parent is currently feeling the struggle of staying home with their kids who seem to be eating constantly!

Because it's not feasible to be running to the store every day to stock up on bagels, Goldfish and all the other snacks kids seem to not be able to live without, one mom came up with an ingenious solution to not only curb her kid's snacking but to also teach them a little math at the same time!

Andrea Traynor is a mother of two, a 9-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son, who writes the popular blog Mommy Gearest. Like many of us, she is having a hard time keeping up with kids snacking all day long. Andrea posted a pretty creative way to not only get her kids thinking about what they're eating during the day but to also put their math and budgeting skills to work too.

"This is starting today," Andrea wrote on her Facebook page. "I couldn't keep up with their snacking, so they're each getting "$10" a day from now on. Hopefully they'll make better choices overall and it's math. Win-win." She posted a photo of her snack menu listing the price of various snacks around the house. Fresh fruit and vegetables cost the less, while less nutritious foods like packaged snacks, candy, and chocolate were the priciest. She gave her kids a preset budget of $10 with monopoly money to 'pay' for their snacks and allowed them to save money each day to be used within the week.

Andrea has also created her own schedule during the Covid-19 health pandemic, telling The Globe and Mail, “for my own sanity, I need a schedule. And I need something to keep us accountable." She added that the schedule is not only for her but for her kids too.  “I want them to know we’re fine, everybody’s okay,” she said. “I just need everyone to feel that it’s business as usual.”

Andrea's snack schedule is a great idea for any parent who is struggling with kids who tend to hit the pantry when they're bored, especially since running out to the grocery store every day or so isn't as easy as it once was. What have you been doing to help control the snacking in your house?
