Encourage your children to eat a decent breakfast before they go to school. Kids who eat breakfast are more likely to be at school. The more often the kids eat breakfast, the better their school performance. When it comes to lunch at the school canteen, encourage them to choose wholegrain sandwiches and rolls filled with things like crisp salad, tuna, eggs and chicken. Eating dinner early at consistent time, between 5 and 6 P.M., is great for children.
