My kids won't eat breakfast!

How old are your children? This is an important piece of information not provided.

I never ate breakfast when I was a kid either. It felt like I had a cement block in my stomach.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, punish them for not eating. You'll screw up their relationship with food for the rest of their lives.

Why are you trying to force feed your kids?

When I was younger if I didn't want to go to school I ate breakfast and 15 min later I was sick. I couldn't handle solid food till mid morning.

I wouldn't make them. If you have food available they'll eat when they get hungry. I was never able to eat breakfast as a kid though. I'd end up feeling sick till lunch time.

My son (9 years old) has never been a breakfast eater first thing in the morning. When school is in session, I don't worry about getting him to eat something before school- thankfully his school has free breakfast that they serve to all the kids at around 9:30. He has had camp the last week and next week, and they only serve a snack around 10:30, so I have been allowing him to eat either a granola bar or a sandwich just so he goes with something in his tummy. During the summer and on weekends, he eats when he's hungry. I say let them skip it if they aren't hungry.
