[quote=Anonymous]What about a mandatory water break for the kids during your lunch break? They can sit at the table and have a glass of water, and practice being good company. Schools and camps do water breaks, so why not at home? If you have the space and budget, a separate mini-fridge (beverage fridge, repurposed wine fridge, etc) is great for organizing snacks and the cold lunch items. Each kid can have a shelf (or shelves) with their names on it or on a tray, and sections for AM vs PM snacks. Morning snacks might be lighter fare, so the kids stand a chance of becoming hungry by noon. If the morning snacks have been light, and they are sitting there watching OP eat (while drinking water) and then smell the hot lunch on their plates there is a good chance they will eat at that moment. Then they can go to their labeled tray in the mini-fridge when ready for afternoon snack. [/quote]
