Lunch Box Worries

If your kiddo eats as little as mine, I'm sure you are really worried about how they are going to handle their lunch at school. From yesterday I've started to put her lunch in her lunch box and make her finish it all by herself. It does take quite a bit of coaxing from my end to get her to finish it. I guess by the end of this month it should be easier for her to handle her lunch.

If you are stuck with what to pack for her lunch and snack box, here are some ideas below

Snacks

Raisins, cashew nuts, walnuts, Peanuts, etc,.
Carrot sticks, Cucumber slices, French fries
Apple slices, Grapes, Banana.
Bread sticks with a dip.
Dark Chocolates.

Lunch

Curd Rice + Egg/Vegetable
Fried Rice (Put an egg anda few vegetables into it)
Chapatti rolls
Poori + Cauliflower/potato
Sandwiches (Peanut butter, jam, cheese spread)

Try and keep the recipes simple and use easy to digest ingredients. Make sure your kid knows how to open and close his Lunch/snack box. Teach them how to use a spoon and eat without spills. Also remind them to chew well and finish their lunches.
As long as you strike a bargain between the stuff that your kid likes and healthy food, lunch boxes will be opened with a smile!

School Days are finally here!

School re-opened on the 11th june , the introduction by the Principal was good, except for he fact that the audi was inadequately ventilated. There could have been more fans placed and the windows could have been opened. After a stuffy 45 min session, the kids and the parents were equally exhausted! The classroom visits were better, except again for the crowd. The initial interviews were organized beautifully, just wish the induction was planned as well too..... The whole affair was thankfully over in two hours time.... Hope to have a better experience once the classes start though!

SBOA School Bus and Transport alternatives

The School bus facility at SBOA School and Junior College is for students of class LKG to class 5. The fee for the bus ranges from Rs.1800 to Rs.2300 per term depending on the distance travelled. The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable. Swaraj Mazda or even a tempo traveller would be nice, but I guess only if a big group of parents go out of their way to find one, the situat...
