GOOD BREAKFAST to School Children - 2


Good morning to everyone! I hope you are still following me with my article. This is important factors for our children. Let me continue what I'm saying before.......

Do not let distractions, such as getting the kids off to school, get in the way of your breakfast routine. If they must be off to school by 6:30, give them a bath the night before, then lay out their uniforms and school books. Get everything ready so that when they wake up in the morning, most of their attention will be foucsed on breakfast. Half an hour is usually enough.


But what do you feed them? Fruit is an excellent appetite pick-me-up and a good way to start every breakfast. Fresh orange juice or better yet a locan version made from dalandan is a good idea, but don't get in a rut with organge juice. In a country like the Philippines, there are many fuirts, and serving a variety makes them more appealing. A daily portion of Vitamin D-rich food is a requirement of a good diet.

Breakfast cereals will not only provide energy; served with milk, it will also help you get enough milk into the diet of the child who doesn’t take too well to drinking it. Young children love surprises, so once in a while, you can add variations to your cereal to make it more appetizing and appealing. Try adding fruits of raisins. The nutrients provided by cereals may also be sourced from breads, whole-grain rice and enriched noodles or macaroni.
