Curious to know others view on these two ...
I'm a firm packed lunch believer, thinking lots (perhaps a bit too much ) emphasis is placed on children at dinner time to eat a huge cooked meal and then again when they get home ~ I bet we can all remember the 'scary' dinner lady from childhood lol !!
I find my children go through stages of eating like 'horses' for a week then hardly anything for a few days
I know if im not hungry,doesn't happen that often! no one could force me to eat !!
Do you think a 10.30am Preschool type snack time routine should be ongoing throughout a schooling lifetime & could a couple sessioned snack times for children be more beneficial than making them sit to one midday/evening meal that could end up in tears and arguments?
With some children's weight increasing at a younger age ... I wonder what everyone else's thoughts on this are?
