What do you feed you children when they return from school?

[LaDY]

Do you give them something light to eat or a big meal?

LO is starting school in September and it just made me think...

Thanks x

My son will be having a packed lunch at school. I imagine it'll be like when he was at preschool, I'd offer him a fairly healthy snack when we get home (usually fruit or veg and humous). Then a hot cooked meal at 5/5:30pm.

Dec gets a light snack when he gets home, usually some sandwiches, a piece of fruit and some raisins, sometimes he may have a biscuit or a bag or crisps, it depends how hungry he is. Then we have our dinner at about 6pm.

Wow your children are all so good! My son is 12 going on 13 and if I'm lucky I can convince him to eat more fruit straight after school but he is starving when he gets in and opts for cheese on toast, crumpets,a tin of ravioli, cheese biscuit snacks, a couple of packets of mattisons followed by a cheese string, a pot noodle- Those sort of things really. He has fruit in his pack lunch and some times for breakfast if he's in a rush. We have tea about 6-6.30

my kids love to eat yoghurts when they came back from school

 

[alicecooper]

my two have a light snack at about 3.30pm when they come back from school - like a piece of fruit or something, or a yoghurt, or a small packet of crisps (though I wouldn't do crisps every day).

We then all have dinner together as a family at 5pm.

My little girl has Breakfast (some days) then a snack at school, School lunch. Followed by a snack at home then dinner and then a before bed snack.

We have to feed her little and often.

If you don't buy these things he won't be able to eat them

At 12 years old I'm afraid mine will eat what they are provided.

After school Jack will have a slice of toast or yoghurt or piece of fruit. He is 9

Leah rarely has anything after school. She is 11

Depends really: I dont mind as long as its varied. Sometimes toast, cheese with apple, choc bar, crisps, yoghurt, banana, brioche, cereal bar.

My son's diet is terrible as he is fussy. He is set in his ways. Sausage rolls go down well though x

aah yes sausage rolls -anything from greegs goes down really well with my lad. I would be rather worried if he just had a piece of fruit as a snack inbetween meals, eerm thats what i have when im on my serious diets lol

To be fair though, my son does get his 5 a day, he has 2 pieces of fruit in his back up , fresh oj with breakfast and 2-sometimes 3 vegies with our main family meal. Its a good job i have stoge in the house for when he gets home or he would be evan skinnier than he is now! He burns ALOT of energy and needs a high calorie intake.

If i had an 11 year old daughter who didnt eat anything when she got home untill dinner-then i would be worried!!
