We all know the benefits of eating a good breakfast and for children with a long school day ahead of them, this meal is even more important. Here are some ways you can give your children the best possible start to the day.
Preparation: Tables can be set, fruit can be chopped and pancake mixture can be whipped up the night before. These little things will save you valuable minutes during the morning rush.
Early Risers: Lack of time is one of the main reasons people skip breakfast. Wake the kids up 10-15mins earlier and give everyone the opportunity to eat this important meal.
Strike a Balance: A balanced breakfast will give your kids a nutritional head start. A meal like eggs on brown toast with a piece of fruit hits all the marks.
Sugar: If your children favour cereals in the morning, opt for brands that have lower sugar (and salt) levels. If porridge needs sweetening, use honey, fruit or cinnamon instead.
Reluctant Eaters: Not all children like eating in the morning, but sometimes they just don’t like the food available. Talk to them and see if you can come up with alternatives together.
