Don’t be discouraged if your child’s lunchbox is coming back home looking relatively untouched, especially in the early days back to school when they are getting used to new routines, or rushing lunchtime to go play with their friends.

Pediatrician, Dr. William Li recommends a variety of foods throughout the day, remembering that children’s appetites change from day-to-day and even meal-to-meal. If you are concerned about the types of food your child is eating or their growth, talk about it with your child’s physician. Visit GettingHealthy.ca for back to school health tips.
