I can't get my kid to come inside some nights.

Our neighbourhood is filled with kids every day, and if parents are out it's because they're playing, but half the time there's no adults out.

Some days kids are knocking on our door for my kid to come out and play before school lets out.

EDIT: I'm on board with the diet idea.. we're fortunate that my kid loves fish and uncooked veggies so it's never an issue with that stuff, we have to struggle for him to each chicken or beef or get enough protein.
