Nutrition plays an important role in our development and wellbeing. With growing and developing bodies, proper nutrition might be even more valuable to a preschooler. Here are a few ideas to consider when planning meals and snacks for your preschooler.
Proper nutrition yields better attendance among preschoolers.
Proper nutrition helps to keep a preschooler’s body in optimal working condition. It helps boost the immune system allowing it to be more successful in fighting off illnesses. Less time sick means more time for the preschooler to be in the classroom learning and developing.
Proper nutrition contributes to improved behavior.
By consuming the right nutrients, a preschooler is more likely to be able to pursue and learn self-control. A well-nourished preschooler will have a better psychosocial well-being and positive social functioning than a preschooler who is unable to focus, hungry, or even having concern about her next meal.
Proper nutrition leads to improved concentration.
Learning, memory, and attentiveness are all affected by the foods eaten. A diet that is balanced and incorporates protein, carbohydrates, and unsaturated fats can fuel a preschooler’s body, setting him up to feel more focused and have less brain fog. Being unable to concentrate may cause a chain reaction of problems such as lack of desire to learn, boredom, and disruptive behavior.
Proper nutrition aids in better academic performance.
A proper diet will provide the preschooler with the needed nutrients imperative to having the mental capacity to thrive in preschool. Being able to attend preschool more regularly, getting along better with other classmates and the teachers, and being able to concentrate more easily will ultimately also provide better academic performance. It will set the preschooler up for academic success!
Proper nutrition provides the preschooler with useful energy.
This energy will allow her to have improved activity levels. By using energy, she will be more prepared to focus and learn throughout her day.
Proper nutrition affects many different areas that are essential to a preschooler’s success. By providing your preschooler with proper nutrition, you are setting him up for an environment where he will be mentally, physically, and socially prepared in which to flourish. As your preschooler grows, the foods you’ve provided will make a major contribution to his success.
