We come home from preschool, unpack our backpack to find lunch uneaten!! As this has become a reoccurring issue, I count to ten silently and ask my daughter, "how come you didn't eat your sandwich?" Which she has no answer for and stares at me with a blank look on her face. While not eating her sandwich shouldn't be a big deal, it becomes one when we have been trying different options lately to get her to eat lunch! So packed in her lunch today was a juice and a half of sandwich. Yes, that's all I packed. With hopes of having to eat the only thing in her lunchbox. So here comes the frustration that I channel into inspiration!
So we will try something new tomorrow! Kids LOVE to snack and tomorrow we will pack a "snack sandwich"! What's that, you ask? I will make her a half of sandwich then in a split second, cut the half sandwich in half! Now she will have 2 small snacks, instead of a sandwich! A trick that is easy, free and takes no time at all. Does it sound crazy, yes, but it just might work for you and your counting to ten moments like mine today, will hopefully subside!
Have you tried a trick or two to get your kid(s) to eat lunch? Comment and share!
