It was a difficult situation with three small boys to take to school and neither interested in eating breakfast.
Every offer was greeted with negativity.
I thought I can’t send them off to school without eating something.
I scrounged in the pantry and found an old box of pizza shapes. I poured some into a bowl knowing the youngest would eat anything.
He and his older brother took a few, at least they ate something. The eldest was not interested. He thought I would stop at the shop to buy breakfast; he was not impressed as we drove past.

Getting young kids to eat before school is a struggle.
It’s no good for your anxiety levels I know that.
Nopes!!
Sometimes the best way to be heard
is to drive on past, not utter a word…
Very true.
If they’re hungry they’ll learn to eat what’s on offer. Good move to keep on moving.
The pains (pangs) of early morning breakfast.
