How to Pack a School Lunch So Your Child Will Happily Eat It

School from home has been really rough for most of us, but at least you were there to ensure your child ate something for lunch.

I’ve had some parents reach out with concerns about their child not eating lunch once in person school resumes.

These were parents of children who need their food to look JUST RIGHT for it to be eaten.

And parents of children who won’t eat food if it’s not the perfect temperature and consistency.

Other parents have expressed concern about their children grazing all day throughout the pandemic. They’re wondering what’s going to happen when their children are not allowed to snack all day at school.

I’m thinking about doing a virtual workshop on how to pack a school lunch so your child will happily eat it.

The virtual workshop will be around 60 minutes, maybe longer if I get a lot of questions.

It’s $27.

Are you in?

If so, comment down below or PM me to let me know.

How to get children from pushing food away to diving in (sometimes literally).

You know the scene: you are desperately trying to get your child to eat more, so you put a scoop of yogurt on a spoon. You bring it to your child’s mouth and it's immediately pushed away.

So maybe you try to make it more fun by making the spoon an airplane. You may get a brief smile, but it’s still pushed away, followed by a whole body turn away.

The trick is to get your child to come to the food on his/her own.

Trying to put the food in your child’s mouth is NOT the way to go.

Toddlers are coming into their independence more and more, which means they are going to say “no” as much as they can.

If your child is older, you’ve already been through this phase and know that you cannot force food into your child’s mouth.

Whether you have a toddler or an older child, here’s what I recommend:

Start by putting a small dollop of the yogurt (or peanut butter, hummus etc.) on your child’s plate or tray.

Next, dip your fingertip in the yogurt and make 3 small dots on the plate.

Then drive your finger through the dots making some sort of noise that’s fun to your child, like ZOOM for toddlers. A classic fart sound may be better for older children. You know your child best, so trust your instincts.

The idea here is to get your child engaged with the food. You can say “your turn” if your toddler is still just watching. Elementary school aged children may prefer to draw a picture.

After your child is playing with the food on the plate or tray, bring the play to the face. You can do this by putting the yogurt on your lips, like chapstick, or making dots on your tongue.

Some children even like to dive in and lick the food right off the plate!

You may be amazed at how willing your child is to taste the yogurt this way.

A 2 year old I worked with yesterday quickly progressed to dipping 2 then 3 fingers into the yogurt that was replenished on his plate.

From here we moved the yogurt from the plate to a spoon and in less than a minute he was grabbing the spoon and putting it in his mouth on his own.

But he had to go through all these other steps 1st before he was ready to put the spoonful of yogurt in his mouth.

Why?

Because he needed time to warm up to the look and smell and feel of the yogurt. AND it needed to be HIS idea to put it into his mouth.

So the next time you're stuck with your child, remember to return to play in a way that encourages your child to actively engage with the food.

If you're looking to finally put and end to nightly mealtime battles with a Picky Eater, I've got a 3-Step system that will get you there:

Step One: STOP THE STRESS CYCLE so you can stop worrying about how much or what your child eats, and you can focus on silly stories told over dinner instead.

Step Two: AVOID "FAV FOOD" BURNOUT (when your child "burns out" on their "go to" foods, forcing you to come up with new options) so that you can continue to count on your child's favorites as “go to” foods long term.

Step Three: CULTIVATE BETTER MEALTIME BEHAVIOR by feeding your child’s emotional needs and handling challenges in a way that feels good to them and teaches them to actually look forward to meals.

This system works really well (I'm a Registered Occupational Therapist, licensed in California, working exclusively with families of picky eaters), and if you'd like some help creating Peaceful Mealtimes in your household, I've got great news!

You see, normally I charge $997 to visit with families in person, here in San Diego, to get these results. We typically meet for 1.5-2 hours per week over the course of a month.

And you know, driving all over the city takes a lot out of me. Plus, you know the whole COVID thing.

So I'd like to try something new with you.

Announcing the END MEALTIME BATTLES Online Program!

This new virtual workshop is ideal for stopping the daily mealtime struggle, using my 3-step system.

I'll be teaching this workshop LIVE for 4-weeks, starting January 26th and recording everything to use as a self-study online course.

To ensure it's a great product, I want to work with a handful of excited parents, personally, while we create the recordings. I’m looking for parents who are ready to implement the strategies I share right away and who can give a great case study.

To be part of this exclusive live class, you can join today for just $297 (regular price $497) for the full four week program...
..with LIVE Group Coaching sessions in addition to the lessons!

(Yep, you'll get my personal feedback and perspective on YOUR situation and YOUR results.)
