Why Parents Should Give Importance On Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
and it is a great way to give the body the
refueling it needs. For many kids and their
parents, morning seems to be a race against the
time to get out of the door and reach schools and
workplaces. All in a hurry it often happens that
kids and parents skip breakfast in the rush.
But preschool caregivers think that kids should
eat breakfast every day because skipping
breakfast may make kids feel tired, restless, or
irritable. In the morning after completing a
sleep of 8-10 hours, the body needs to refuel for
the day ahead. Their mood and energy may drop by
within a few hours in the morning if they do not
recharge their body properly with food. It has
been observed by a caregiver in
a preschool in Altadena, CA, kids who eat healthy
breakfast daily in the morning participate in
physical activities more enthusiastically and
maintain a healthy weight. They also tell parents
that according to various researches, skipping
breakfast habits may lead to a decreased focus in
learning and have a negative impact on school
performance.

A child specialist, when invited to
a preschool in Altadena, CA, tells that parents
should provide an ideal or smart breakfast to
their children every day to boost their
brainpower as well as physical development. They
say that a smart breakfast is a breakfast that
includes carbohydrate-rich foods like fruits,
whole grains, and low-fat dairy. These foods take
time to get digested and thus provide a steady
supply of glucose all through the day. If protein
food is served along with it, it helps maintain
the energy supply even longer. Protein along with
carbohydrates and low-fat dairy provide adequate
power and the child does not feel hungry till
lunch. And studies show that students who eat
breakfast perform better in the classroom.

• How Breakfast Helps
•  
• A regular smart breakfast helps to maintain a
  healthy weight. Researches show that children who
  do their breakfast regularly are less prone to
  obesity or being overweight.
• Breakfast provides energy and essential nutrients
  to children.
• It has been seen that children who eat a healthy
  breakfast daily before coming to school, have
  more alertness and concentration than those who
  do not do their breakfast. A healthy breakfast
  consisted of grainy bread, breakfast cereals,
  fruit, milk, and egg can function at its best
  throughout the day for better mental performance.
  Some easily available and popular breakfast for
  children includes fresh fruits like banana, milk,
  eggs, cornflakes, bread, cornflakes, chia-seed,
  flack seed, etc.

Parents often complain that their children are
very fussy about eating. They do not want to eat
a healthy breakfast. A nutritionist of the
reputed preschool tells that parents should use
their brains to motivate their children to eat
their breakfast without creating any problems.
Parents must check what breakfasts are available
in the daycare or school. If your children eat
breakfast outside, talk with them about how to
make a healthy selection.
