Parents accompany their children's meals, it's easy but why can few schools do it?

As reported by Tuoi Tre Online : On the morning of October 18, Tan Son Nhi Primary School, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City organized a boarding meal and invited parents to participate.

According to many readers, it would be great if every school made their lunches public like Tan Son Nhi Primary School. By doing this, children can eat a balanced menu and be educated about nutrition.

According to Master Tran Xuan Tien, "witnessing" your children's school meals will gain more than lose.

To add more perspectives, the following is a share by Master Tran Xuan Tien.

Many benefits for all parties

Nutrition plays an extremely important role in helping children stay healthy and develop comprehensively. Therefore, school meals are always an issue that receives special attention from parents.

It is easy to see the huge benefits of allowing parents to directly watch their children's meals at school.

Seeing their children's meals with their own eyes helps parents feel secure and increases their trust in the school's commitment to food quality and safety.

Furthermore, this also helps parents, if necessary, to participate in making adjustments and contributing ideas about the menu.

In addition, parents can also learn about how to build a nutritional regimen, meal preparation and processing procedures, and healthy eating options.

All of these create cohesion, exchange, sharing, and build trust between the school and parents.

The school meals also aim to help children eat a balanced diet and receive nutritional education.

Spread the word, okay?

Reading the responses on Tuoi Tre Online about this model, most opinions are wishing to replicate the typical Tan Son Nhi Primary School throughout the city. As a teacher myself, I also strongly agree with this proposal.

It can be said that schools that successfully apply the model of "schools inviting parents to "witness" the lunch meals" can become a model for other educational units. This spread will contribute to creating a broader movement on school nutrition.

To organize this model well, we need to clearly realize that this is an activity to create trust for parents based on reality, not a formality, done just to ease parents' anxiety.

We must do it with professional responsibility and teacher conscience.

Schools can start to pilot this activity to introduce parents to the menu, food sources, and food safety and hygiene procedures.

In addition to notifying parents, schools need to create excitement by sharing pictures, videos, with school newsletters or on the school's social networking sites.

More professionally, sharing experiences in organizing boarding meals through seminars, conferences and topics also contributes to inspiring schools.

To improve effectiveness, schools also need to encourage parents to increase their participation and provide feedback after participating in the "eye-witness" event for boarding meals.

Parents' sharing based on their experiences of this activity at their children's schools will be valuable contributions to schools and, at the same time, inspire other parents.

The school needs to receive feedback in a receptive spirit, to evaluate the effectiveness and improve the lunch service. If there is anything that needs to be kept, the school also needs to respond quickly and clearly to parents, to create a common consensus.

In my opinion, it is not difficult to replicate this model, the important thing is whether the schools want to do it or not!

Consider privacy, ensure no disturbance to children

The model of "schools inviting parents to "witness" boarding meals" needs to be spread and replicated because of the positive benefits it brings to relevant parties, contributing to strengthening the connection between parents, teachers and schools.

However, in the process of inviting parents to "witness" the lunch, it is also necessary to pay attention and consider privacy, ensure that it does not disrupt the children's learning and eating activities, and avoid negative effects on children during meals.
