A. Start by simply asking your kid, without unleashing your frustration, why they aren’t hungry at lunchtime. Is your child feeling distracted or anxious? Perhaps they’re worried about a friendship or a test. For emotional causes, if you can figure out the problem, it’ll be easier to take steps to solve it—or at least make it loom less large—by giving your kid the chance to talk things through. The next step is to take stock of what you’re packing for lunch. Is it too much? Kids often set food aside just because the portion looks overwhelming. Or, if there’s a mid-morning snack program at the school, that might be filling up then. Try packing lunch with your child the night before to get the servings about right. You can cut nutrient-dense foods like veggies, cheese and fruits into smaller pieces so your kid can pick away and still get a healthy lunch. With any luck, they’ll snack on the leftovers on the way home from school, too.
