Is your kid coming home hungry day after day? Here are five secrets from a former lunch lady that might explain why your kid isn't eating lunch at school.
there, and for years I observed the kids in our lunchroom. A lot of food goes to waste, and as a parent, I hate that as much as you do. I’m here to share a few insights into what goes wrong and how to fix it.Kids can switch from announcing “I’m starving!” all day long to insisting “I’m not hungry!” at mealtimes and leave you scratching your head as to why.
Each school has its own unique restrictions and possibilities, so you’ll need to get creative when proposing possible solutions. We addressed this problem at our school by creating a second lunchroom in an unused classroom for the younger students. The noise levels dropped dramatically. Consider asking your principal if there’s another space they could offer to students who’d prefer to eat in a “quiet room.
If neither of these solutions is possible, then it might be time to gather volunteers—with the school’s blessing—to make acoustic sound panels using frames, soundproof insulation and repurposed blankets or quilts in fun patterns and bright colours. Hang these on the lunchroom walls to help absorb some of the noise.Too often, I’ve seen children struggle to open food storage containers.
Sitting at this table should be a choice, not a punishment or cause for shame, so ask that it always be a welcome space for all. And something to keep in mind: If your school has volunteers participating in its lunch program, ask if these parents can keep the remaining kids company while the lunch monitors are outside, and kitchen staff and caretakers are busy cleaning up. It will make for a nicer vibe.
