= Inquiry into the reasons why parents give children money = =__ SUMMARY __= =Parents give their children money because it's easier for them to let the kid decide what to eat, and it is also faster than preparing the kid a lunch box, but if they knew what their kids are buying, they would take their time to prepare them their lunch.= =__ MEDIA __= =__ INTERVIEW __= = Isabella Jaramillo 13-5-12 = = I made an interview to my parents to see what was their opinion about parents giving money to their children, and this were the questions and answers: = = = = Why would you give your kid money? = = Because it’s easier for us to let the kid decide what to eat each day, it’s faster because we don’t need to prepare any lunch in advance. There are more options in the cafeteria than at home and it also prevents the kid from getting tired of eating always the same food. = = = = Do you think your kid is buying healthy food in the cafeteria? = = No, we don’t think so because the kid always prefers junk food rather than healthy food. While they have the opportunity to choose, they will always go for junk food. = = = = Do you know what the school’s cafeteria is selling? = = We know that they sell arepas, mango and granizado de Milo, and the majority of that food is not very healthy. =

I had an interview with felicity bedford were she told me that now parents do not care in this new generation about students nutrition, they give money to there kids 1 because they do not cared and 2 they do not have the same time as they had when kids were small. Sumarry: Kids are being affected by the only reason why parents give money to their children that is they do not have time or even because they do not care.

=__ SURVEY __= =Maria Jose and I made a survey to the kids of the school Luis Horacio Gomez and we asked them if their parents gave them money or not and this were the results:= == =We also asked to the kids that their answer was YES in the previous question that from what grade their parents gave them money and the results were:= =This concludes that the majority of kids receive money from their parents and that they receive it since they are in 3rd grade.=

=__ OBSERVATION EXPERIENCE __= = Isabella Jaramillo & Maria Jose Aguayo 11-5-12 = =Parents give children money because they are not conscious of what their children are buying, because the cafeteria only offers commercial food, it means that the food is made with bad or unhealthy ingredients, only for selling them very expensive so they can gain money.= =If parents knew how that food is made, they wouldn't give their kids money, they would buy them lunch with healthy food so their children would be healthier and they would have less probabilities of getting overweight and probably having serioud health problems.=

= Isabella Jaramillo 9-5-12 = = In all the years Iv'e been in the school and I have been to the cafeteria, I have seen a lot of people buying, specially the older ones, and I wonder why do parents give their children money? = = It could be because they are very lazy to buy them lunch, but I think that the real reason is because they think their children are buying healthy food, but they are actually buying junk food like sweets, ice cream, or even a granizado. But it is not only their fault, because the cafeteria is not offering the healthy food they need. = -- = Isabella Jaramillo 9-5-12 = = Adults tell children to eat healthy and to don't eat sweets, but in the other hand the adults are the ones who produce, promote and sell them, how is that possible? = = It happens because they want to make money! They sell sweets because children will like them more than fruits and vegetables, so kids will buy them. =

Well parents give money to their kids because they do not have time for making a lunch box but even if they had plan they do not like. Well also because some times parents even do not care. -- = Isabella Jaramillo 11-5-12 = = Prior knowledge = = Parents give children money because they don't have time for preparing them a lunch box, it is just easier for them to give them 40 or 50 thoudand pesos for them to buy in the whole week than needing to prepare them their food. =
