What can I put in my 6 year olds lunchbox ?

Let him make the sandwich.
It's always better to eat what you cook yourself.

Introduce him to figs and dates, nuts and raisins

First, he'll eat it if he's hungry.

Second, don't start pampering him because you'll be sorry down the road.

Third, make a list of what he likes to eat and go from that.

And Joe's got a great idea - if he makes his own sandwich, he'll be likely to eat it.

Also, maybe he doesn't have a big appetite.

Maybe change the sandwich up with a piece of leftover pizza or something leftover that can be eaten cold.

Are you giving him juice boxes?

Have you asked him what he'd like for lunch?

Our kids like it when there's some variety, and remember that kids just don't eat the same portions as adults.

Some suggestions: Tortilla rollups (ham and cheese, jelly and cream cheese, PB&J, etc.). You can buy tiny containers to include dips, so that carrots and ranch or similar items are possible.
