Often I've thought that whether a lunchbox comes back full or empty probably doesn't relate to whether they like the food as much as I expect it should.
Kids are hungry sometimes and not hungry or just busy at other times. Our kids also eat slow (well, it feels it but I've seen other kids slower). They also often complain they didn't have enough time to eat.
I guess that's their problem. If they were actually hungry it would have been enough time. No point eating when you aren't hungry.
It’s probably a factor. We’ve actually spoken to her teacher about it, they all get a certain time to eat each break with additional time given for kids who want to eat longer. My guess is as soon as her friends are done she wants to go with them.
I’ve just taken to packing less in her lunchbox as it’s clearly enough for her.
