Question 1

What is a healthy tiffin for an Indian preschooler?

Accepted Answer

A healthy preschool tiffin balances complex carbs (whole-wheat roti, idli, paratha), protein (paneer, dal, egg, sprouts), a fruit or vegetable, and avoids deep-fried or sugary items. Portion size matters more than variety at this age.

Question 2

How do I get my picky preschooler to eat their tiffin?

Accepted Answer

Involve your child in packing, use small leak-proof compartments, repeat foods they have eaten before, keep portions small, and avoid pressuring them. Most preschools (including Rainbow) gently encourage eating without forcing.
