[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a big deal at all that the teacher asked your daughter to save her cookies for last. That's standard advice for kids eating lunch at school. Many kids bring junk in their lunches (chips, cookies, candy, etc.) and teachers don't want that to be the only thing or the main thing the kids eat all day. Not to say your homemade cookies were unhealthy and teacher shouldn't comment that they are but they were likely the least healthy thing in the lunch so it makes sense the teacher wants your kid to prioritize eating the other foods first.

However, not eating enough lunch and coming home with it only half eaten is a problem if it means your daughter is hungry at school and coming home hungry every day. So try to work w/ your daughter on eating in a timely way at school and if that doesn't work, talk to her teacher to see if there's anything they could do to help make sure she gets enough to eat at school.

How long do they have to eat? At our kids' school they have 30 minutes for lunch and I think that's fairly standard. 30 minutes should be enough time for most kids to eat all the things in a lunch like the one you packed.[/quote]
