Vague title, wasn't sure how to word it.
Anyway my DD is 8 and her school has a water only policy except for with packed lunches. My dd is a nightmare with food and drinks. She eats limited foods, which we are working on and has increased slightly, but liquid wise, she will only drink vimto, pure orange or occasionally strawberry milkshake (but only certain brands)
Schools said today to her she's not to bring vimto, only water (during class times) Her juice bottle isnt one you can really see through so not sure how they've found out.
If we send water, the bottle will come home just as full as its sent in, she will not drink it. Trust me, we've tried many times.
Weight wise, she's small for her age in height but just within the healthy range for weight to height on bmi. This is something else I'm monitoring to make sure she's always gaining etc.
Anyway, she's told us her teacher said only water in future, yet she's told us teachers are allowed juice, some have orange, vimto, blackcurrant etc. Not sure that's setting the best example really.
Any suggestions on how to get around all of this and keep her on juice, don't want her going all day without drinking (she will get some juice at dinner though)
Also she's been getting headaches recently which touch wood we've got on top of, so don't want her getting dehydrated and headaches returning either 🙈
I should add we've tried flavoured water etc.
Thanks!
