Why it’s important:
Lunchtime in kindergarten involves sitting, eating, and managing food independently. Children need to remain seated and focused during meals.

How to do it:
Turn mealtime into a pretend “restaurant.” Have your child sit at the table for the entire meal and practice using utensils, opening items, and cleaning up afterward. Keep the experience fun but structured.

What to look for:

• Remains seated during meals
• Eats independently
• Cleans up after eating
