I just hate it, the thought of being my mother,,Every morning before i went to school she would yell at me. i would say that 4 out of 5 days i cried before school. Though this was mostly in highschool..Now that rylin is going to school everyday..I get up..get myself ready then get him up..Get him ready..but when it comes to breakfast..He just sits there and doesn't eat it..i have to get after him and he just says why..I am sick of battling the breakfast thing. if i don't tell him to take a bite then he will sit there..
I beleive breakfast is important..I never ate breakfast before school and it always made me so tired and cranky at school..i did the same thing as an adult, but then i started eating breakfast and i had more energy to get through my day..So not eating is just not gonn happen..Grr he is a little **** these past few days ↓

| What do you give him for breakfast? Ask him what he would like ... provided it's healthy. As long as he eats something. Like a banana and toast one day, or his favourite cereal the next ... ↑ |

| my daughter doesnt like breakfast either. If i have time i try to make her eggs about once a month. She wont even TOUCH cereal. Pancakes sometimes she'll eat. I wouldn't recommend this for your son because i think he's in kindergarden? but my daughter drinks protein shakes that are chocolate. She says they taste good-it's like chocolate milk with more carbs. Or she'll have a protein bar-half of it. It's horrible really. We battle a lot on the breakfast issue. ↑ |

| My son is the same way. I has been a full-time job just making the boy eat anything for the last two years. I know that my son will not eat cereal and he is one of these kids that want even urinate till 10:30 am. I would just wake him up earlier so he has some getting up time. Then I would do everything I had to and let him eat a breakfast bar or something fast besides cereal at the very end. ↑ |

| If you drive him to school, sometimes they eat better in the car. Problem is you can't brush their teeth. ↑ |

| Well, brush their teeth BEFORE they get into the car. The toothpaste leaves a deposit on the teeth which will work all morning. ↑ |

.atomic snowflake ,
Who wants to eat just after having their teeth brushed? ↑ |

| I do it all the time. Brushing the teeth isn't some sacred act! I brush my teeth during the day too! ↑ |

| I also brush my teeth after sex and before driving my car! ↑ |

It's not that! It's the mint taste in your mouth after you brush your teeth; it'd make my dinner taste funny.
Noone eats in the mints in restaurants before having their dinner ... ↑ |

I got a thought! Dont believe there is any bakeing involved.....and when ya think about it, really convenient. Atomic could use it BEFORE sex....instead of just after. Your son......he could eat in the car......with no worry about food tasting like mint.
1 Tube of favorite toothpaste.
Chop in 1/2" segments......bits of toothpaste from tube. Place to dry on rack. When dry simply place in small container....easy storage for purse or glove compartment.
Always handy easy to use "Pocket Paste!!!!!!!!!!!"
There.......that should take care of everyones issues with sex, breakfast and toothpaste. ↑ |

| My daughter never liked to eat breakfast so I would let her eat what ever she wanted as long as she would eat it. There was some mornings she would eat bread and butter other mornings she would have pb& jelly, I also let her have pizza. For me it was just getting some thing in to her belly, some thing that would hold her until lunch. ↑ |

| you could make like a smoothie or something....with milk yogurt, frozen strawberries, blueberries, bananas and a little peanut butter for protein...very tastey....tastes like they're having dessert, but really it's healthy....my grandma also had a juicer, and she'd make them in the mornings for me....carrots, celery, apples....they were good too! :-) ↑ |

My little girl isn't a really big "morning" eater. She will usually eat around 9 AM or so. So school is different since she has to be there at 7:45. The good thing is the school serves breakfast at 8:05 so she can eat if she wants. For her snack I will send a pop-tart, dry cereal, graham crackers, etc that she can eat in the event she doesn't eat the school breakfast.
I personally, don't think you should "make" at child eat if they don't want too. My little one has literally went days that she didn't eat. It could be that school is new and he's a little nervous & maybe later on he will start eating something. If they get snack time, send him something you know he will eat. My pediatrician always told me that a child will not let themselves starve. After 5 1/2 years of battling with mine, I have learned it to be true. Good luck : ) ↑ |
