“Yesterday I asked my daughter, “Does everyone in your class bring a snack for break time?”
She said, “No… not everyone does.”
I asked, “So what do the kids without snacks do?”
Her answer broke my heart: “They have to work on homework while everyone else eats.”
That didn’t sit right with me. So the next day, I showed up with enough snacks for the whole class. And since I was at it, I brought snacks for my son’s preschool class too.
The smiles on those kids’ faces said it all.
Now I’ve decided—I’m bringing snacks every week so no child feels left out again. Because break time should be about joy, not exclusion.
✅ Small kindness. Big impact.”
