Healthy eating during car journeys
Are we nearly there ? is a question every parent dreads at the start of a journey. Typically car fare is a packet of wine gums or sticky toffees which buys peace for a short while and a trip to the dentist in the long term. Sadly the motorways of Britain are not populated with wholesome food outlets but with low grade catering where the child friendly menus generally feature chicken in the shape of a dinosaur coated in breadcrumbs . A good solution is to prepare a picnic in advance. Here are some fantastic ideas:-
Not only does this ensure that your child enjoys something healthy but also breaks up the journey and gives them a change of scene.
Give your child activities and games to play in the cat so that they are not bored. Children love games like guess who, trivial pursuit or I Spy and it will distract them from moan .
