Breakfast is the Key to Success!!


“Those who think they have no time for healthy eating, will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” – Edward Stanley

Breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, is the most important meal of the day simply because it determines how your child will feel going into their busy school day. This why it is so important that you, as a parent, take this opportunity to feed your child the healthiest and most nutritious meal possible.

Studies have shown that breakfast provides the nutrients that improve academic performance, increase attendance, and decrease hyperactivity. In a nutshell, it is one of the key factors in determining how well your child will perform in school. Children who eat a healthy and well balanced breakfast are also proven to have more energy and a healthy body weight as compared to children who do not eat it.

It is not hard at all to come up with quick, simple, healthy and delicious dishes that your child can eat in the morning to prepare them for their day. Some simple ideas are:

Peanut Butter on whole wheat bread

Bagel with cream cheese

Oatmeal with apple sauce

Pita bread with yogurt

All these meals come with enough nourishment to give your child’s brain the energy it needs to retain information in the class room. Breakfast is a habit that not only will your child thank you for,but their stomach will too!

Helpful Tips:

1) Make breakfast the night before (slice fruit, boil eggs)

2) Have a set bed time for your child

3) Give your child a set time to wake up so they will always have time for breakfast
