I think you just kind of have to let them cut off their noses until they figure it out for themselves, don't you? Natural consequences are the best teacher unless the natural consequences will cause lasting harm (ie you can't teach your child the dangers of the road by letting them get run over), but being upset and missing breakfast? That's just normal life stuff. If he's still really upset about it at the end of the school day, then I'd worry.
