Tips For Packing School Lunches

As a stepdad, knowing what to pack for your kids’ lunches may be somewhat of a mystery.


Because you can’t be there to provide the same amount of support for your kids when they’re at school that you can when they’re home, the lunch you pack for them takes on extra importance.

Aside from being the nutritious meal they need to refuel for the second half of their school day. Your kids’ lunches are the closest connection you’ll have to them while they’re at school.

You want the lunches you prepare for your kids to:

  • Let them know you care,
  • Set a good example for their eating habits and
  • Provide them with all the nutrition they need for the afternoon.

That may seem like a lot to fit into a brown paper bag, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to pack lunches for your kids that do all that and more. For example, a nutritious school lunch should come with a healthy amount of fresh fruits and veggies.

If you chop these into finger-friendly portions, you’ll give your kids a much better alternative to chips or pretzels.

Another good way to help your kids love their lunches is to get them involved in the preparation.

In addition to giving your kids a chance to have a say in what they eat, it also helps you bond. The lunches you pack for your kids offer an opportunity to continue parenting them while they’re at school, so make them count.

The following guide contains more tips for preparing school lunches that will benefit your kids in a number of ways.
