Tip 9: Eat Healthy Meals

Continuing along the same topic as tip # 8 on health, tip #9 has to do with getting the right nutrition.

Tip # 9: Make sure your family is eating balanced and healthy meals.

The first thing you want to make sure your child is getting a good breakfast. This can be at home or at school. If your child eats breakfast at home make sure it is not full of sugar and empty calories. A good guide would be a serving of fruit, protein, and grains. (example: small glass of orange juice, a bowl of oatmeal, a glass of low fat milk, and a piece of toast or bagel). If your child eats breakfast at school, check the school menu and make sure your child is going to eat what is offered and that the meals the school is offering is balanced and healthy. This goes for lunch and dinner. Try not to eat processed foods and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Only eat at fast food restaurants on rare occasions and get your child use to eating at home or making healthy choices when eating out. A healthy mind and body will learn and retain more at school.
