Did you know that By eating Breakfast improves Academic Performance

Yes! Breakfast improves mental performance and concentration during morning activities. Children who skip breakfast will be more sluggish, less attentive, and have less energy to carry out their morning tasks.

Besides assuring optimal development and growth, positive effects on alertness, attention, performance on standardised achievement tests, and other skills important for academic success are enhanced for those who eat breakfast on a daily basis.

Suggestions to get your children to eat breakfast each morning:

Offer variety: mixing a variety of healthy cereals, especially those that are lower in sugar, are a good source of carbohydrate and fibre for children. In addition, skim or 1% milk supplies needed calcium and protein.

Make it easy: if presented for time in the morning, try cutting up fruits the night before, so it’s ready to add to cereal or yogurt

Be creative: breakfast doesn’t have to be limited to cereal or toast. A whole wheat English muffin with mozzarella and tomato sauce or an omelette with vegetables may seem unconventional to parents, but if a child enjoys it, it can be a healthy choice.
