Let’s talk about lunch boxes ! Many of us have a little kids going back to school this year or preppies starting so emotions will be running high . There is so much fantastic information out there about what to put in our kids lunch boxes and I get it we want to feed our kids the best we can and it’s important that we do have a healthy balance but it’s also understandable if it doesn’t happen all the time . There are also many kids out there that won’t eat carrots but will eat a choc chip muffin , that wont eat an apple but will eat strawberries , that wont eat cucumbers but will eat olives or refuse to eat any fruit and veggies it doesn’t meal you have failed them ! Every child is different . Some children have sensory disorders and some may have adhd so will only eat particular foods . If your child is feeling anxious or scared about school it’s ok to put their favourite snack even if it’s not organic or raw , even if it’s a packet of chips or a sneaky choclate to remind them you know what they love . If thats what works for your child then you focus on that . Every child in school right now is going through a change a new class room , new teacher , new friends and trying to find their place in the school so a lunch box is a reminder of where they come from and who packed it . Pack the lunch box for them and only them and don’t feel guilty because of the internet . Your doing your best !
