Hungry Children

For children, hunger can be a much bigger problem than for adults.  When hunger strikes, kids lose their focus.  Some stay at their desk and fade.  Other “feel sick” and ask to go to the school nurse.  And others, just poke the kid next to them.  No matter how a child responds to the discomfort of hunger, all children lose out on learning when they don't eat breakfast.

Prevent Hunger

A simple breakfast before leaving for school can ensure that you don’t start the day hungry.

It also ensures that you have the nutrients and energy you need during the morning to concentrate on learning, think clearly, and be on your best behavior.

 Healthy Children

Children who don’t eat breakfast are less likely eat all of the essential nutrients they need every day to grow and develop.

One of the nutrients that children may not be getting enough of is calcium — the bone-building mineral found in milk and other dairy foods.

Eating a nutritious breakfast is a great way for children to be on target to meet their daily needs for the important nutrients.  Kids 4 to 18 years old need at least 3 servings of milk or dairy program every day.
