Their bodies and brains are constantly growing and developing. For this reason, your preschooler needs a nutrient-dense diet to help promote success in preschool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attention<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever tried to pay attention in a meeting with an empty stomach, or after eating a donut and coffee for breakfast? It is more difficult to focus if your body\u2019s physical needs are not met.\u00a0 Preschoolers are still learning how to focus and attend to activities. You can help reduce distractions (i.e. a rumbly belly) or behavior issues (i.e. hangry or emotional preschooler) by ensuring your preschooler eats a healthy breakfast and is hydrated before dropping her off at preschool in the morning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brain Food<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, your preschooler\u2019s brain is constantly developing. Your preschooler\u2019s brain will develop in a healthier way by eating a nutrient dense diet, as opposed to processed food. Foods that promote healthy brain development include: eggs, fish, leafy greens (i.e. spinach), and nuts and seeds. These foods are high in nutrients which the brain needs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugary Foods<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugary or high fat foods can leave your preschooler feeling sluggish and make it more difficult for them to participate in activities needed for learning. If your preschooler fills up on sugary or high fat foods, they may not leave room for the nutrient dense foods that their brain and body need for proper development. Treat your preschooler with a delicious fruit salad or 100% fruit popsicles instead of candy!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immune System<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does a proper diet help your preschooler\u2019s brain and body develop properly and help them to be more attentive in preschool, but it can help them ward off illness. Your preschooler will have a better chance of staying healthy and fighting off all the germs they are exposed to on a daily basis if their body is in its prime, through a healthy diet. Foods high in vitamin C (i.e. citrus fruits) are great for a boost in immunity!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/the-woodlands\/blog\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
