The mother asks the nurse about her 9-year-old child's apparent need for between-meal snacks, especially after school. When developing a sound nutritional plan for the child with the mother, the nurse should advise the mother:

1. The child does not need to eat between-meal snacks.

2. The child should eat the snacks the mother thinks are appropriate.

3. The child should help with preparing his or her own snacks.

4. The child will instinctively select nutritional snacks.
