How to Teach Your Child to Follow Directions

Children tend to pay less attention to instructions, especially when they have other things or activities in mind. But luckily, there is a way you can teach your child to pay closer attention to instructions. That is, after you’ve given directions, ask your child to repeat everything you said before taking action.

This will give them time to process what you just said and allow them to do a better job at their task.

Plan Lunches Together

A great way to encourage your little one to eat right is to let them plan the lunch menu with you. Take them to the store with you and let them help pick out items to include in your lunch.

The Right Breakfast Mix

Providing your little one with a brain-boosting breakfast is just one of the many responsibilities a parent must meet. A great way to make sure you give the proper breakfast to your child is to remember the phrase: “Three or more before you head out the door.”

Give your child one item from each of the three food groups (protein, whole grain, and fruit) to create a healthy breakfast.

Why Do Kids Learn So Fast?

There are two reasons why kids learn fast. One is their brain's prefrontal cortex, which acts as storage of working memory. Second is the neuroplasticity of their brains, whose neurons communicate faster than in adults.

Things to Consider When Feeding Children

When feeding children, you should give considerable attention to safety and nutrition. Food must not be contaminated with bacteria and viruses. Meals should also have balanced nutrition to ensure their good health.
