Solo ep - Lunchbox level up; the school excursion that made me rethink my kid's lunchboxes
ParenthoodShow Notes
After a recent school excursion, I had a humbling parenting moment.
As the kids opened their lunchboxes, I couldn’t help but notice the colourful bento boxes, fresh fruit and vegetables, and healthy homemade snacks. It made me realise that maybe it was time to lift my lunchbox game.
In this episode, I share why comparison isn’t always a bad thing, practical ways to encourage kids to try new foods without turning mealtimes into a battle, and simple lunchbox ideas that are realistic for busy families. Most importantly, it’s a reminder that parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about making small improvements that add up over time.
If you’ve got a lunchbox hack your kids actually eat, I’d love to hear it! DM me on Instagram @parenthoodpod.
