About this visual support
A snack is meant to bridge, not to feed like a full meal. But when hunger really hits, the impulse to finish the whole cookie packet or empty the bowl of grapes is much stronger than the knowledge that dinner is an hour away. That is not a moral failing, it is how a brain reacts to sugar and shortage.
With visual support showing wash hands, take the portion, put the rest back, eat at a calm pace, the amount becomes a visible decision before chewing starts. A child sees a portion in a bowl, not an opened packet. The limit sits in the environment instead of in someone is voice.
One concrete tip: use a small dedicated plate or bowl with a fixed volume for snacks, and photograph it so the same image can sit in the sequence. Put the rest back then matches a real shelf in the kitchen. If you want the snack to be a recurring point with a sound reminder, Routined holds it within the daily plan, with a 14-day trial before any subscription.
