Mini Parenting Moments • Well Fed • Because Kids are Always Starving

Mini Methods • Well Fed: My kids are always "starving" when they get home. So I have made a habit to have food for them right when they get home. Sometimes it's dinner sometimes a snack. This serves a couple purposes. 

1) There is something mentally soothing to people when they walk in and smell something cooking. 
2) Hunger is a great motivator and they automatically know and are put at ease that they are going to eat. 

Their needs are met timely and they are more grateful for their food. It's not a perfect science but this is how I generally do it. Days I am going to be gone all day I put something in the dutch oven to be done when we all get home. Otherwise I either prep something in the morning or an hour before they're due home. On emergency days, something unexpected happens, those are cereal days. They don't get cereal often so they love this too.
