From finding enough options for varied lunches to dealing with kids who only eat one lunch to collecting fairy dewdrops to adorn our Bento Box lunches, Lexi and Amanda are ready to start packing. Packing lunches, that is. Moving from daycare to preschool this year has Lexi in a panic. She talks about the pressure of being the follow-up act to her son's daycare provider's delicious, nutritious hot meals. Amanda's advice is simple: Stop caring. She shares that her daughter ate from the "olive cart" (actually the "a la carte") menu in middle school and is sure the experience of eating only chocolate-chip cookies and churros for three years was good preparation for college life. If you're wondering what to do when your kid only eats sandwich-size pepperoni and superhero CheezIts, we've got advice for you! And, to be fair, we also shared some sound, easy-to-manage recipes from a great Kveller article, "23 Back-to-School Lunch Ideas Your Kids Will Actually Eat." (If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.)
