#in my experience kids generally like sweeter blander foods and things that are easier to chew

In my area of the US it's a common thing for a comfort meal especially for children is grilled cheese/cheese toastys and tomatoe soup. Is it similar where you live or is there not really a country wide (I think) idea of a comfort food for kids? If there is do you like to eat it?
I actually like grilled cheese and tomatoe soup, I like dipping my sandwich in the soup like it's an edible spoon.
*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer.
I think grilled cheese is definitely a common food where I live (western Canada), and both my husband and I eat them multiple times a year! I try to stick to lactose free cheese if I can for my guts. I like to make them a bit fancier by adding garlic powder and rosemary inside before I grill it. (He likes tomato soup, too, but me and tomatoes are not always friends.)
As far as comfort food for kids goes, I may not be the most well-informed as I'm child-free. I think things like chicken nuggets, and KD/Kraft Dinner (a certain boxed macaroni and cheese) with ketchup are probably what I'd think of for kids, at least for something you'd make at home. Maybe peanut butter and jam for boxed lunch. I think spaghetti is maybe something kids like but my mom never liked it so I didn't eat it very often growing up.
When you're sick, it's chicken noodle soup for sure. And blue Powerade and cheese buns, if you're me. An old roommate of mine used to make broccoli cheddar soup whenever one of us was sick (because her mom used to make it for her).
A family I was friends with/that shared childcare duties with my parents at times used to always have toast with margarine and cinnamon sugar as a snack or breakfast.
I'm not a super picky eater, so I'd eat any of the things mentioned here, even the soup if I didn't have another option or if me not eating it would inconvenience someone.
I think Kraft Dinner with ketchup may be the most widespread regional comfort food of what I thought of.
