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:
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.
- Again from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, here are some various Fact Sheets For Healthier
School Meals.
- 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,
Mary
