So what when they cry that they want to go home as they hated what you served at lunch and were STARVING. - This happened this week. Also same child will say "I don't want that when is snack and what are we having?" I have tried " if you don't eat this now then this is for snack " but then they cry(a lot) they want to go home as they are starving!! (4 years old). I'm not too sure parents are fully onboard with good eating habits (in the early am) as they often turn up with half eaten gronola (sp) bars, which go straight in garbage but how do you deal with this type of situation (again sorry for piggybacking -good word)
