I want to prepare a snack to my son when he is going to school because now a days we dont know how safe the food is. But because i dont have enough time to prepare i just give him money for his snacks.

just make sure that the food being served on their cafeteria is safe......its common for parents to do this since most of them is too occupied to even prepare a snack.....

every time he arrived from school i ask him what food he bought in the cafeteria because i want to know if the food can give him an energy in school time.

I prepare a snack for my son as well as give him pocket money. He is suppose to finish whatever I have prepared for him before buying his own snack. Which will be a lot better since his stomach will be full after eating those that I have prepared for him. Having a little titbits won't hurt since he will not likely eat a lot after eat my snacks.

are you sure that the snack you perpare he really eats and not throwing to the trash can? Because one time when i visited my son in his lunch time his other classmate throw his food to the zinc. We ask him why he do that, he just said that he dont like the food that his parents prepared for him.

I've been married for more than five years now and God has gave us a loving daughter who is turning three next month. We could send him to school this early but we decided to postpone it for a later time in the future, maybe a couple of years from now; so obviously, I'm not that worried about preparing a snack for her when she goes to school, or giving her money to buy herself a snack. But just like what you said, it's better to prepare her a snack yourself so that you're certain that she's eating the right foods even in school. Giving her money for snacks is not bad at all; but maybe you could achieve your target or choice by making a snack and finance budget early on. Say, plan an entirely nutritious and unique meal for your kids a week ahead. Hope this helps somehow.

All parents face this problem nowadays. And the kids also seem to like the snacks available outside so they are happy about getting the money instead of packed food.

yes they are envy to their classmate when they dont have money to buy for what they want to eat. Seeing their classmates going into the cafeteria will ask for their parents to give a money instead of home made snacks.
