[quote=Anonymous]What past experience does he have packing his own lunches? If he's done it in the past and is refusing now, I think you need to get to the bottom of the new resistance. If he's never had to do it before, I would do it with him for a while to help him get the hang of it. Yes, he's been eating the lunches you pack for years, but actually putting together all of the pieces on your own can be a little overwhelming for a child that age at first. Do it together, and as he gets the hang of it, you can start to back off a little bit at a time and turn more of it over to him until he's doing it completely on his own.[/quote]
