In a strange turn of events apparently several other parents addressed it so the teacher sent an email to all the parents regarding classroom policy for eating.[/quote]

If I got a classroom policy for eating, I would pull my kid out. I am serious. I lived in 3 states and my kids had 6 preschools. I never had this happen. I would be irate. For picky eaters especially, do not police food. This is how eating disorders develop. I am a PP and I had one myself. [/quote]

Plenty of preschools in this area are up to date on how to appropriately feed children. I’m the PP whose child has an allergy and the schools I looked at all did a version of “you’re in charge of your own lunch, not your friend’s lunch” which is good both for not stigmatizing children whose lunches are different as well as for DOR and learning healthy habits around food.

Saying nut free or keep your food to yourself is fine. Telling a child what order to eat food in that is in their lunch is NOT.[/quote]
