At school I always bought mars bars or some jelly sweets and what damage had it done to me?


Alright, that is questionable so maybe you have got a point there.

How old is your boy NR?

Have you considered giving him a budget and letting him make his own?

It's a really good exercise with loads of good learning outcomes. You keep a watchfull eye of course and you'll have to help him at times but he could gain a lot of good stuff from the experience.

He's only 6 (7 next month - yay!!) and he spent his lunch budget on crap (ka-nom), which is the reason for the packed lunches so I'm not sure he's ready for the responsibility, but great idea for slightly later. Thanks.


Thanks also to Momo for the links & suggestions. Very decent of you.

You could start talking to him about it now. You might be suprised at how quickly he takes up the challenge. Kids are clever little things

Actually if he's anything like his Mum, he'd probably go for them.

Littl'un would love the pancakes, but I'm supposed to be responsible. Not sure why - someone just told me that I should be.

Naaah, wouldn't give the poor wee guy that. My policy is not to feed him anything I wouldn't eat (apart from things he likes that I don't, like seafood, mayo, coleslaw, seaweed flavoured chips - WTF!!- cucumber, melon, etc)

He'd love you for that. He'd live on that if he could, but I have a feeling he needs fresh veggies & fruit.

Alright, that is questionable so maybe you have got a point there.
Typical kids start to a day.

1. Some rubbish like cocco pops smothered in sugar and milk. About as nutritious as the box it is packaged in. Or porridge covered with 3 table spoons of sugar.
2. A slice of toast covered in butter and rasberry jam.
3. Parents piles mars bars, potato chips, other sweets including colourfull tasting sandwiches for the main lunch.
4. Usually have 50 Baht in their pocket to buy some ice creams and coke for lunch.
5. Then another ice-cream and bag of lollies on the way home from school.

With all due respect to my parents that the way I was brought up and now I am suffering. Spend a fortune at the dentist.

Purely and simply we feed our kids way too much sugar and our little bundles of joy process this high energy fuel very quickly and burn themselves out in a rush and normally before the school day has finished.

Some kids and who have a high sugar in-take disrupt classes, are more agressive to other children and this is a medical fact. Not to mention the obesity sydrome which is affecting western children.

NR> find out 5 tastes that your little boy likes, select various nutritious meals that is close to those tastes (and low in sugar ans salt content) and rotate those meals according to your own convenience. There are plenty of snack web sites that you can visit with 1000's of ideas.

You will also find your son's appreciation of healthy foods (and without high levels of sugar and salts) will continue into his manhood.

^ So does he, but all processed foods have loads of salt & sugar. He gets them sometimes, but not often.

Thanks, Loytoy. I'm really trying to curb his sugar habit. He has a real sweet tooth. Sweets are once a day - if he's eaten his dinner at night. That can be candy, ice-pops, biscuits (cookies) or fruit (I kid him they're sweets, as well)

A few other sandwich ideas:

* oven roasted vegetables (onion, tomato, courgette, etc.) with cream cheese
* cheese (either cheddar type or cream) and tomato - could add a bit of raw onion, too
* kai yang (from your local street vendor) with cucumber slices
* sliced boiled egg with salad
* omelette (either plain, or with bits of onion and peppers in it)

And for a change, you could spread the bread with mayonnaise, rather than butter.

You can also use toast instead of bread to make the sandwich - it gives a different taste & texture.
Omelette sandwich is a great idea. A person can vary the ingredients resulting in many sandwiches with egg as the base.

Soya sauce mixed with mayo makes a good spread.

Sannies with veg always get soggy. When I did visa runs, I made ham and cheese rolls and put some lettuce and stuff in a small plastic container to add when I wanted one.
The frozen juice pack is a great idea.
Maybe a small thermos for soup, hot in cold rainy season and cold when it's melting. Even just for hot water to make cup noodles.
It's fun to make lunch a surprise for kids, too. I mean carrot slices cut in nifty shapes, a mini dinosaur toy or something weird now and again. Or a card that says "I love you coz...blah blah." Make every day fun and an adventure.
