let my 10 year old pack her own tiffin for two weeks

cinnamon_rain_6023

started this because i was tired of the box coming back full. only rules: one thing from the fridge, one fruit, something she'll eat. two weeks in. she packs the same three things on rotation. but the box has come back empty every day, which hasn't happened since class 2. not sure it counts as nutrition but i'll take it

    Thank you for posting this, I would like to try it with my daughter, who is in class 3. How did you handle the timing? I am wondering whether she packs it herself in the morning or gets it ready the evening before. Our mornings are already tight and I suspect most of it would quietly fall to the person who helps at home.

    I run a small daycare and see this every day with the little ones. The children who help put their own snack in the box eat it. The ones whose box arrives packed by someone else pick at it. It was like that with my own two when they were in school also. Three things on rotation is fine, at least you know they are eaten.
