Milk

[Crayola kiddies]

I only have 1% in my home if parents want anything else they have to supply it and I serve water at snack times and milk at lunch ..... Kids do not need "liters" of it each day .... One cup is plenty at daycare if parents want more they can supply it.... If the parents are not supplying the required milk then I would give him water and if he wants something to drink on the way home fill his cup with water .... I would say sorry I'm almost out and I need it for dinner ..... You do "special " for someone and it quickly becomes the norm for them while it continues to be special to you ...... Don't do special

I am with Crayola Kiddies on this one! When I first started milk was a hot item (I had less children at the time so did not see the disaster coming, lol). Now I only serve milk with lunch at the odd time at afternoon snack or if we are making hot chocolate... milk gets expensive and it becomes something people expect, especially the children. It is a hard habit to break but once you do I think you will be thanking yourself.

Have you tried sending out a group email so you are not singling out the family stating something like 'going forward I will be offering two glasses of milk per day per child. If your child requires more milk than this please bring in your own milk.'

I would love to know how this goes!

Agreed; I do the same here.
