Make time for breakfast
It is easy to rush out the door and skip breakfast in the morning, but many experts think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The American Academy of Paediatrics suggests how to make breakfast a priority:
• Leave enough time in the morning for your child to eat without feeling rushed.
• If necessary, prepare breakfast the night before by making hard-boiled eggs, pouring cereal or slicing fruit.
• Prepare healthy "grab and go" favorites such as bread and cream cheese, fruits or hard-boiled eggs.
• Make sure your child goes to bed early enough to leave time in the morning for breakfast.
• Think of outside-the-cereal-box breakfast options that offer protein, fruits and vegetables.
