For where your treasure is,
there you heart will be.
(Matthew 6:21)
I was recently visiting with some women, and the topic of
school lunches came up. If your child brings his/her lunch to
school, here are some helpful ideas:  
  • Discuss healthy eating with your child. You can print off a food pyramid chart from the U.S.
    Department of Agriculture.


  • After discussing healthy eating with your children, take them grocery shopping with you. You may
    want to give older children a lunch budget and let them actually purchase their lunch items out of
    that budget.

  • Most children can prepare their own lunches.

  • Of course, making lunch the night before school always helps.

  • Wondering what to do with all of those small packages of mustard and mayonnaise? They are great
    to include with sandwiches.

  • From time to time, slip a special note to your child in his/her lunch.

    Hope these ideas help!

    Blessings,
