Weary Parent: Parenting Tweens & Teens

Power Lunches Kids Will Love

by SP on September 19th, 2006

“Packing snacks or lunches that won’t be traded with friends or even thrown-away can present a challenge to any parent. Yet healthy snacks and lunches, like breakfasts, provide kids with the energy they need throughout the day. What’s the magical recipe for spicing up your child’s lunchbox while keeping preparation time to a minimum? Mix one part child involvement with a teaspoon of planning and a pinch of creativity and your child will thank you.”

Well, I thought that my days of making lunches were behind me, but apparently it isn’t so. Britt started to make her own lunch and one for her dad but her social life seems to be getting in the way, so I picked up lunch making and I must be doing a pretty good job. No complaints as of yet… except from G, who says that he doesn’t want to look at another carrot stick as long as he lives!

And they say packing lunches for kids was hard!
