Many parents worry about their children's preference for snacks over meals. Minh Hang (TP HCM) shared her concerns about her 5-year-old daughter, who often eats only a few bites of rice, vegetables, and meat during main meals but enjoys colorful snacks like cookies, candy, and chips. "Every time we go to the supermarket, she begs me to buy snacks first. I love her, but I'm also worried because not all the snacks she likes are nutritious," she said. Hang tried eliminating snacks entirely, but her daughter still didn't eat more at mealtimes. Instead, she longed for the snacks her neighbor's children were enjoying.
Child development experts advise parents not to eliminate snacks completely but to guide their children toward healthier choices. Explaining what constitutes healthy food and introducing nutritious options can empower children to make good decisions.
Many parents creatively shape meals into animals or pictures, or simply cut eggs, vegetables, and meat into stars, circles, and triangles to entice their children to eat. Adding natural colors from carrots, spinach, and other vegetables can also make food more appealing. Brightly colored or whimsical eating utensils can further enhance the dining experience.
Diversifying meals with healthy and convenient options is another effective strategy. Parents can offer alternatives like pasta or noodles, ensuring a balanced intake of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Milk biscuits with milk can be a refreshing breakfast option, providing energy for a day of learning and play.

Many milk biscuits on the market contain nutrients that support children's development. D-Maxx Marie milk biscuits, enriched with vitamin D and calcium, satisfy children's tastes while reassuring parents. Vitamin D and calcium are essential for bone growth and strength. Calcium is a key component of bones and teeth, contributing to bone density. Vitamin D helps the body absorb and utilize calcium effectively.
Produced by Mayora, an Indonesian company with over 40 years of experience in the food industry, D-Maxx Marie prioritizes both ingredients and production processes. The biscuits are designed to fit children's hands and are perfect for dipping in milk. The cow print on each biscuit adds a touch of fun. They are suitable for breakfast, after-school snacks, or weekend outings.
