Breakfast Boosts Brain Power Breakfast helps kids learn! Missing breakfast can decrease your child's attention span and ability to concentrate, negatively impacting his school performance. So if your child needs to rev up his day and prepare for learning, he'd better not skip breakfast!  Recent studies show that children who eat a morning meal are more alert, make fewer errors and perform better on school tests. Breakfast jump-starts the brain. Consequently, children are more creative and energetic. Hunger can also be a silent culprit. When hunger strikes, kids respond differently to the discomfort they feel. Some children feel "sick" and visit the school nurse, some pick on the child sitting next to them or others just sit quietly at their desks and lose their focus. Whatever the response, a hungry child is losing out on learning experiences. Skipping breakfast makes it very hard for a child to eat enough food to obtain their body's required nutrition to stay healthy and grow. The traditional favorite breakfast foods, such as fruit, breads, ready-to-eat cereals and low-fat dairy are excellent sources of carbohydrates, proteins and calories. Both adults and children need these nutrients, along with zinc, iron, folate and calcium for optimal health and development. Just as important as the body's physical needs, a body refueled improves the mood! Kids who eat breakfast have a positive attitude! Breakfast eaters tend to get along better with their classmates, are more cooperative and have less disciplinary problems. Make it happen with these helpful timesaving tips and ideas. |
