The world is going under lockdown, no one knows when this would be over, it may be in a few weeks or months, no one knows a definitive date. This is also forcing the mothers to somehow come up with ways to keep children in some sort of routine. The routines need to be thought of and also the eating schedule. The holidays for children mean eating food at any time of the day. Being kids we know that it shall definitely include some fast food and a lot of sweet desserts. But this simple hack can get the eating part of the deal in a straight line for the students. This can also be used by adults who shall be working from home.

This innovative mother had a simple hack to make it alright. She made food for her children as she would do on any other school day and put them in three different colored baskets. Each child has a color in which they have their food for the day. Once the food in their basket is gone, they can’t have any more extras and have to wait for the next day to get their snacks. This was shared on Facebook and garnered her quite some appreciation. This is a very simple technique.

The lockdown is for a few weeks at least and incorrect and overeating can take a toll on the health of the kids and also the adults who shall be working from home for the foreseen future. Thus, a proper diet and controlled diet is a must during such times. The food is also sometimes used as a topic of the fight for the children, which is also omitted here. The mother also wrote that she kept seeing these posts about kiddos wanting to eat all day while they are quarantined at home. It makes her stop and think, ‘Do they really need a snack? Facebook. The amazing idea she shared was her solution.

The idea which has been put on the table by this mother would have only an appropriate amount of junk food eaten by her children. This also shall have some amount of discipline in their lives, since the children know that they have only a fixed number of snacks and thus need to be judiciously eaten. They would also not continuously fight over food since all of that is already been divided by their mother. Making a win-win situation for the mother, she would have fewer fights in the house and also have her children, not binge eat on unhealthy food.
