[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or they are 7 and 8 and it's summertime, so they are capable of making their own lunch?[/quote] They won't. I've tried just not making lunch for them to see if they'd give up and find something on their own, and DH thinks that's lazy.[/quote] Be a parent! You don't just suddenly stop making them lunch. You sit down with them on a weekend and explain how to make lunch, arrange the kitchen so everything they need is accessible, and then you supervise them doing it a few times until you are confident they can do it. You sound really immature.[/quote] You sound really harsh. But I agree that the kids can make their own lunch! :) I’ve had my 9 and 7 year olds make their own lunch. Smoothies, ham sandwiches, bagel and cream cheese, peanut butter and jelly. Sometimes they make max and cheese. If I’m free, I’ll do it, but it’s good to teach independence. Montessori isn’t just for preschool[/quote]
