Comments on: How to Fix Your Kid Lunch

on 8/3/2008 our schools don't allow nuts, eggs, sweets, cakes, or juice. imagine how much fun making lunch is with all these restrictions, as well as everything the kid won't eat anyway!

on 8/8/2006 Letting your child pick their lunch is important. Let them pick:
1. sandwich filling
2. fruit
3. a snack
4. something sweet
This way children will eat their lunch. Another thing is letting your child order their lunch once a week or when they have done something special (like doing well in school). Deciding for yourself what your child is eating is okay, but encourage them to say what they don't want and give them choices. I find giving them sensible choices is the best way to get no leftovers!

on 6/30/2006 Don't force your kids to eat stuff they don't like. Look around, there are so many different kinds of vegetables out there. Let them try different things. If you're feeding them broccoli and peas, let them try capsicum, pumpkin, mushrooms and more. They could love something that they have never had before! Just because you, the parent don't like a particular food, who says they won't? While you're at it, be a role model and try some new things yourself.
