    Great advice. Kids are stressed out at school. When they see that special lunch from home, it calms them. I'm a lunch lady, at a local school in my town. Trust me, if they don't want school lunch, ( Because like you said, its free) then having a home made option is so great. Lunch time is the only time they get to be themselves, relax and not think. Good job mama

    You are exactly right! My son is in first grade also and he is a super picky eater. You make me feel more like a normal mom. I feel like some people live in their own little bubble and judge other moms too much, while excluding themselves. When my son says he will eat something during the week that's what I pack and I know he isn't sitting at school hungry.

    My younger sister didn't like to eat breakfast early in the morning before school, so she would eat Campbell's vegetable soup for breakfast. Mama asked the doctor about it, he said as long she was eating something let her eat it.

    Great tips. From another picky eater mom I totally get it. My daughter is now 21 and STILL is as picky as she was in younger years. She only eats a handful of things but like you say “fed is best” I thought she would outgrow it in high school and college but NOPE she will not try new things. She has never even eaten a hamburger or hot dog!

    Honestly I am almost 42 and have Crohn's Disease. Lately in the last six months I have become very picky and have had issues with so many different foods that I'm down to picking at about four or five different things. It is a struggle for some to understand it, but sometimes sensory, taste, smell, or texture issues, or aversion just makes it not worth eating a certain food.

    Great video!!!! 👍💜
    Best pediatrician I ever had was one that said if you can only get your child to eat plain hotdogs…. be grateful he’s eating. ~Truer words never spoken! Lol~

    As a former lunch mom, great tips, especially not sending new food. You would be surprised how many kids really struggle when they open their lunch box and it is something they have never seen before. I have mentioned before, my middle son was/is still picky just go with what they want. Funny side note, as a young adult he has know developed the sixth sense to differentiate brands of foods. Makes me nuts! I love him so it's ok. Have a great day everyone.

    I just remembered a trick I learned from my sons therapist (when he was younger and would refuse to eat). She said use something to trigger his appetite, whether it was a brownie or chips etc. something he really liked, after that he would eat a bigger meal of something else like chicken nuggets or a quesadilla. I did whatever it took because it’s no fun being hungry!

    People have no right to judge. My son is Asperger’s and eats the same thing for months at a time because that’s what he likes otherwise he won’t eat at ALL. 🤬🤬 people who judge make me so mad.

    Water & salt works perfectly for apples! Seriously life changing and just found this out the year my son graduates! 😭
    Anyway, I fill large cereal bowl w water and add about 1 teaspoon pink salt. Soak for about 5-7 min. Rinse in small colander and let some water drip off. Package up & no brown apples come lunch time! Son says they are not salty. Wish I knew this years ago!!

    Hi Tamara. I enjoyed your tips and tricks even though my kids are all adults now. My youngest mostly ate cheese and mandarin oranges when she was a toddler. She’s 19 now and she’s still extremely picky when it comes to certain foods. I think your tips were great. Thanks for sharing 😊

    My son used to absolutely love French toast sticks, sausage and fruit for lunch. Don’t be afraid to let them have breakfast for lunch! People focus so hard on WHAT kids are eating versus making sure they are fed. I love your statement “fed is best!” That is so true!!

    This is going to sound so weird. But I swear it worked for me 😂. Neither of my kids liked cooked veggies or raw veggies but one day i was making a soup and had out the frozen mixed veggies mix and I gave them each some. They thought it was hilarious and they each ate about a half a cup of them. They liked the novelty and I think the texture was better for them. Whatever it takes. I totally agree about lunch time. A fed kid is a happy kid and a hungry kid cannot concentrate in class.
