Encourage kids to create their own lunches using a handy checklist. This practice not only promotes independence but also gives them a sense of ownership over their meals.
If you need a personalized checklist, our Youth and Family Coordinator is here to help – reach out to them to craft a list tailored to your child’s preferences and dietary needs.
