They have to pack everything except for the ice pack the night before, then add the ice pack on the way out. So far, so good. For my 1st grader, she has a metal clippy thing that hang on her back pack to hook the lunch on to. She has gotten used to the feel of it so that the back pack feels odd without it on there. I was afraid if she got used to it being inside the backpack there would be no significant difference if she forgot it. So far so good. <br /><br />I love his use of "hasten".

My Guy is horrendous about remembering his lunch so every morning, before I go to work (he gets up 1.5 hrs later), I bring his lunch out of his fridge and place it on the counter. That's the ONLY way he remembers. Yes, even though I have one child, I sometimes feel like a mother of two :)Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968048136720936198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16484482.post-28182839601505771752010-09-17T13:40:24.031-04:002010-09-17T13:40:24.031-04:00Allison, I don't want to admit why I don't...Allison, I don't want to admit why I don't hand him his lunch box.

I've forgotten twice already and they don't have spoons at school, just forks. (???? yes, seriously) So, it's been my kindergartener reminding me about lunch.

They got 1 "free pass" at the start of the school year. After that, they were on their own. Forgotten lunch? Well, go hungry. One missed meal won't kill you. Forgotten homework? You get to explain it to the teacher and accept the lower grade when you finally get around to turning it in. Amazing what not enabling them accomplished in short order! Of course, mine don't have to deal with ADHD - just laziness.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.com
