dear deepa,

When my kids were yr son's age, they had to leave for school at approx. the same time. I couldnt really stuff them with breakfast for fear of them throwing up in the vehicle. So, I used to give them one big mug of milk with either complan, horlicks or bournvita [w/o sugar]. For snacks in school, i used to pack either of these :

1. Mini stuffed parathas [stuffing cud be either potato, paneer, cauliflower]
2. Baby idlis [u can mix grated carrots / beetroots or boiled peas in the idli batter]
3. Sandwiches with cheese n boiled egg or cheese n cucumber/tomato/lettuce. Cut the sandwiches into small n interesting shapes.
4. Mini pizza - toppings can be vegetables of your choice.
5. Boiled sweet corn mixed with a dash of butter
6. Fried rice with a variety of vegetables like spring onion, peas, diced potato, carrot, capsicum [red, yellow, green]. To reduce the quantity of oil, u can boil the rice separately. Take a separate pan and lightly saute the vegetables [put a max of only 2-3 veges] in a little olive oil. Now add the boiled rice to the pan, add little salt n a dash of soya sauce n mix well. For young children the flavours have to be subtle - nothing too spicy/tangy or salty.
7.If u r non-vegetarian, then once a week, u can give him shallow fried chicken nuggets. There r many frozen varieties available in the market. You can also subsitute them with french fries.
8. You can also try small uttapams. Add onion,tomato, peas etc as toppings.
9. Veg or chicken noodles is usually a favourite with children.
10. Mixed fruit chaat. Put only a sprinkling of chaat masala - not too much.

Whatever u make, ensure that the size is small n the shape interesting. U can make use of cookie cutters available to cut the sandwiches into different shapes.

Happy cooking,

love,
kylie

 

I have recently found out with my 2.8yrs old (he goes for a Mommy &Me class)that when he wakes up he is better off taking a bath immediately and than followed with light breakfast, since not many kids like to eat alot in the morning. He is definitely not going to stuff himself with a lot of food before going to school, since psychologically he has has that anxiety of spending time in school....hence packing healthy snacks is a better idea!!!

 

Re: How can i arrange my son's routine..

Hi,

I feel something should go with milk. Different flavored cereals may be an option. Or a fruit & a glass of milk?...May be a small sandwich...with cheese or fresh vegetables like cucumber...Give him the choice. That way you can avoid struggle early in the morning
