[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you told her she's not allowed to? You're the parent and she's to eat what you pack? And then make sure it's stuff she likes.

Of course if your kid does whatever she wants and ignores what you say, that's a different problem.

I have done this repeatedly, and she just ignores what I say. I think a part of it is wanting to fit in with the other kids. Most of the meals I pack are things she likes because she chose them for dinner the night before. It could also be an aversion to eating the same meal two days in a row, but I don’t have it in me to cook more frequently.[/quote]m

I’d try a sandwich or something other than leftovers. She may just not like the leftovers. With the exception of pizza, my kids don’t like cold leftovers the next day and I haven’t found a thermos that will keep them warm enough. I will incorporate leftovers a little differently like last night’s noodles in pasta salad or leftover grilled chicken in a salad, etc.

My kid’s school offered free breakfast and lunch two years during the pandemic. My older two preferred lunch at first, then tired of it. They didn’t regularly take breakfast as they’d eaten at home. [/quote]
