My DT's are 4 and a little bit and have just started school. By the time we get to the car after pick up it's 3.40pm and I've been giving them some fruit or a flapjack to keep them going until teatime.
They are eating fairly well at school according to friend's MIL who is the dinner lady and watched them for me!
It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
If I give them more of a snack on the way home they won't eat at teatime. But they are too hungry to go through to teatime on just a banana. If I bring teatime forward to 4.30 they don't eat much if they've had a snack on the way home. If I don't give them a snack pre-4.30 they can't make it through to teatime.
Anyone still with me? Any solutions?
