It’s February and your beginning-of-the-year exuberance about packing your child’s school lunch may be fizzling out—especially if you have a picky eater.
If your child is a picky eater, enlist their help. Invite your child to pick one food from each of the four main food groups: fruits, vegetables, protein-rich foods and starchy or complex carbohydrate-rich foods. Add a “drink pick” and, for a special treat, a “fun pick.” Yes, lunch time should be fun time too.
