Do you cut them off at any point? I have a 5 yo that can easily eat six waffles/pancakes and two full sized bananas and that's in addition to the breakfast he ate at his house before arriving.(He arrives during breakfast time). None of the kids are overweight or even close to being. They eat way more than I could even think of eating in a day! Ha!
I no longer serve breakfast, but when I did parents would answer Yes or No to "did you child eat breakfast before drop off"
If No, they were served a "regular" size breakfast.
If Yes, they would have specific activities to do while others ate breakfast
I did/do seconds at lunch, but not Breakfast.
I also do similar to BC and will only do more if they're eating everything, not just asking for 5ths of crackers :P
