Honestly, so are a lot of things. That in itself doesn't mean it's bad.

He's off dairy and won't eat bread, so I am very limited in what I can send him. He eats Fleishigs for breakfast, and I pack up his cereal and a banana to take for lunch. It's not a punishment, but just a natural consequence. You ate lunch for breakfast, so all I have left for lunch is breakfast food. He's happy with it. |
Why does that have to be "a natural consequence?" Why can't that just be "another option?" Why all this negativity? (I don't mean just from you; this has been a common refrain on this thread.)

I did not mean it negatively at all. I think it's adorable that my son eats chicken for breakfast, and I'm happy to send him breakfast for lunch if that's what he wants. I meant it's just the way things naturally work out if you eat your lunch for breakfast. He totally doesn't see it as a negative thing either- he would see it as negative if I would force him to save the chicken for later.
