The Importance of Breakfast For Children




It's also important to know what happens when your child skips breakfast. Children who do not eat breakfast will burn fewer calories throughout the day. They will usually show increased errors on work and have a slower memory recall. They may be more hyperactive and show lower math scores.

Children who skip breakfast are also more like to be absent or tardy from school. It's important that parents ensure their children get a healthy start to the day with a great, healthy breakfast every day. Public schools around the country are required to provide a healthy breakfast every morning for students.

If you are unable to provide a breakfast for your child, just get them to school in time to enjoy a healthy meal from the school. During the summer months, or if your child does not attend public school, do your best to always provide a healthy breakfast each and every day.
