Good nutrition helps kids show up at school prepared to learn. Failing to provide them with a proper diet puts them at risk of not meeting their potential. I know when I am hungry I find it hard to concentrate, have a short attention span, as well as struggle to process information or complete tasks. This rings true for kids as well.
Tips and encourage your kids to eat healthy:
- allow your child to try a variety of different foods
- offer nutritious snacks
- have a balanced breakfast and allow time to eat it
- eat together as a family
- pack your child’s lunch from home with their help in what they choose
- don’t over react when your child refuses a new food, but try again several times
- let them tell you when they are full
- encourage children to drink plenty of water
- involve your child with planning and preparing healthy meals
