"This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Schreiber Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own." Every time my daughter climbs into our van after school, I hear the same words: "Mom, I'm hungry!" I can't blame her. After school, I remember being starving too.

"Everyday is a new day to be the person we want our children to become." Think about when our children trigger a negative response from us: They refuse to put their shoes on when we're rushing to get to the car. They won't eat the breakfast that you woke up early to make.
