lunch line for good. so how can you pack a healthy lunch that your kids will now eat? we are getting help from parenting expert and mom, rosy pope. we trust you with so much advice you give. but this new healthy plan at school backfired, putting more pressure on parents to make sure kids are packing a lunch from home. it s great to have healthy food, but if your kid is not going to eat it, it s doing nothing for you. we have to think about how to get kids to eat healthy foods. what strategy do you have? have a tasting menu. at home on the weekend, have a tasting where the kids don t have to swallow if they don t like it. get them to try different foods and rate how they feel about them and one they like the most they have to incorporate in their lunch that week. so valuing their opinion and getting them to taste it. it s not a bad idea. the second thing is don t sugar coat why you re doing healthy food. it s important to explain it s going to help them grow.
