It’s the end of August which means, back to school for most children.  This is the perfect time to put new routines in place.   As parents we are responsible for providing a foundation in which our children can thrive and achieve excellence.  One important area we must pay close attention to is the nutritional needs of our children.  We live in a time where the consumption of sugar and processed foods are on the rise.  Our children are consuming far too many empty calories that do not support healthy growth and development.

Here are 7 Success Tips for “Back to School Nutrition”

·        Start the day with a power packed breakfast.  Research shows that children who regularly eat breakfast have better test scores, better behavior and are less hyperactive than children who skip breakfast.  Breakfast could include eggs, whole wheat toast and fruit or a protein smoothie with fruit and yogurt.

·        Find out what your child is eating at school.  Many schools offer fast food and other poor-quality foods alongside the usual lunch selections.  Pack nutritious lunches they will enjoy.

·        Limit the purchase of processed, packaged foods.  Begin to read labels; you may be surprised by the sugar, sodium and other additives in the most common foods we bring into the kitchen.

·        Provide your child with balanced meals that include a protein, a vegetable and a starch.

·        Check your child’s bowel pattern.  It’s critical that they are eliminating daily.  If they are not, this is a signal that they are not consuming enough fiber.

·        Supplement their diet with a multivitamin and mineral.

·        Be the example.  It’s hard to ask our children to embrace eating for nutritional value if we as parents do not.

Following these simple steps will start your child off to a great school year.
