We’ve all heard
that breakfast is
considered the
most important
meal of the day.
A balanced breakfast meal includes
three to four
different food
groups. A protein rich food (for children to stay
fuller for longer), a whole grain carbohydrate
(this is the energy source that the brain prefers),
low fat dairy foods, and fruits or vegetables. But
for most individuals, breakfast is considered the
most difficult meal to consume on a regular basis. Many children and adults say that they
would rather sleep in longer, are too busy in the
morning, get too distracted, or they just don’t
feel hungry enough to consume that morning
meal. There are many tips though that parents
can use to help provide those breakfast benefits
for their children:
1. Get Organized: Planning out your breakfast
the night before will help cut down on the
amount of preparation time you need in the
morning.
2. Grab & Go Breakfast: Keep individual size
boxes of cereal, granola bars, and fresh fruit
on the table as quick grab and go options that
your kids can eat in the bus or car ride to
school.
3. Ask Them: Asking your kids what they
would like to eat in the morning will cut
down on preparation time and any
indecisiveness that they may have when
trying to get out in the morning.

Water: How Much Is Enough?
Drinking enough water is crucial for
excellent body function. Your body
can only survive for a little more than
a week without water. So how much
water should my child be drinking
per day? As a rule of thumb, your
child should drink about 6 to 8 cups
of water a day. It is also important to
watch your child’s water
consumption when they are going to
be physically active. Making sure
they are staying hydrated throughout
that physical activity is a must. Below is a chart of
the recommended totally daily beverage and
drinking water requirements for ages 4-18:
