Lunch Box Worries

By Categories: 
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!

LKG Interview @ SBOA - A Review

By
It is a big relief for us that the LKG interview at SBOA went smoothly. And as I sit back and think what helped and what didn't, a few facts did surprise me. The kids did need to know a few basic things for the interview and I think all the kids who came for this one were prepared. The main distinguishing factor was the stress levels of the parents, the more the parents were stressed about the whole process, the kids clung to them, when the parents treated this as any normal outing, the kids were more adventurous. Once the parents were able to relax the kids were more like their usual self. Believe me when I say, this was not the place or the time to keep pushing the kids to say hello to the other waiting kids or parents as every kid in that place was already intimidated by the crowed. The other striking feature I noticed was that when the Parents pretended to let the kids lead them to either the interview room or to the application counters, the kids automatically took control.

I would prefer the results to be announced on the same day, but I also understand the difficulty in screening more than a thousand applications for limited seats. So here I am counting the days before the result is known.............
