she's very sporty and trains 3 or 4 evenings a week. I just came home from work to find she'd had a piece of toast for her tea. (I mean around 4pm - evening meal is after training.)

I know she hadn't eaten enough because when I bought some ricecakes on the way to training she started scoffing them

I have a fridge full of milk, yoghurt, cheese, croissants, cereal, bananas. All of which she likes. Surely at 11 she's old enough to make herself a decent snack. How can I get through to her?

She will have done this at school. Check out the BBC schools website's KS2 science pages - they are pretty good.

yes was thinking of digging out her text books. She's sick of hearing it from me...nag nag nag.

Will try bbc.

thanks.
