Like all mommies, Id plan my entire week of sending snacks (healthy) with Gnan for school and he'd come back finishing the entire box - but he's complain saying it was the same old boring thing like last week. I had read about the power of choice from a mommy blogger (god bless her) and I tried it with the Ice Cube Trick - Its an array of choices split into boxes like on an ice cube tray - well, I couldn't send him to school with an ice cube tray - so I invested in a Bento box - and Voila!
Bentology - a concept I had read up on - A laptop lunch box concept with a lot of options to choose from. I started the trial over a month ago, and it has been a success. The occasional unfinished carrot and the half eaten banana does come home - but the quantity in the food G man eats has increased with this trial.
I bought this box on Amazon and it is worth investing in. It travels well and fits in all kinds of baskets I use and fits into his school bag perfectly. Its expensive but if well maintained, it does last years together. As must Id not recommend buying plastic, if you are a recycler - then you know what to do with it after a few years.
