Parenting Tips on Sept. 20 Fox 4 Morning News: School lunches that get eaten, not traded
Children who don't eat enough healthy food find it harder to concentrate in school, not to mention that they can get a little cranky. Tune in to Fox 4 7:00 a.m. news for tips from our parenting expert on ideas for school lunches that your child will eat.
Why school lunches aren't eaten
- Kids get bored with the same things
- Yet they can be reluctant to try new foods
- Comparisons to other kids' lunches
- Trading/sharing food with other kids
Tips for school lunches
- Involve your child in menu planning
- Introduce a variety of foods
- Vary the bread: pitas, wraps, rolls, English muffins
- Sometimes containers help: like Bento boxes
- Use sandwich cutters to make fun shapes
- Encourage child to bring home leftovers
