Kids sandwiches

For the most part my kidseat really well, 80% paleo & 95% home cooked meals with the occasional meal out but we are not following a W30 with them.

 

I'm a little confused and stuck if I'm honest.  A friend of mine (who claims to be paleo) has told me that children need carbs for growth & energy & it's ok to give them pasta, bread etc.  Pasta and bread are probably amongst a few red items that I feel I will never willingly give to my children but she has said there are various grades, i.e. buckwheat bread or spelt is good.  This is where my confusion comes in, I know it's not W30 & I avoid these products generally as they are manufactured but how 'OK' are these?  I mean giving my kids the occasional bread wrap would make life quite a lot easier

Carbs don't have to mean bread and pasta. If kids are eating sweet potatoes (or white potatoes, for that matter) winter squash, pumpkin, fruits, etc. they will get plenty of carbs.

My kiddos eat white and sweet potatoes, gobs of fruit and the occasional white rice for carbohydrates. Every once in a while we'll grab a loaf of GF bread, but that's a rare occasion for sure

That's what I thought, thanks

I'm much like Robin, my children eat mostly sweet/white potatoes and white rice. My son has behavioral/communication issues and I notice he gets much worse if I start letting him eat processed/refined grains/carbs. So, we stay clear of them.
