Create Consistency with a Weekly Menu

Plan a menu of meals for an entire week and keep it consistent week after week. Example: Next week you'll eat the same three meals you ate this Monday. Next Tuesday you'll eat the same three meals you ate this Tuesday - and so on. Restaurants often have a daily rotating menu utilizing this same concept.

This will make shopping easy and packing lunches a “no brainer.” Your child (and spouse) can also fix their own meals in a pinch by reading the menu and finding the right items on the list.
