Research confirms that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for children’s health, academic achievement, cognitive development and mental health. Unfortunately, many children regularly skip breakfast each morning, depriving them of the important benefits associated with the morning meal. We would encourage all parents to ensure that their children receive a healthy breakfast prior to arriving to school or that they purchase the breakfast offered at their school.
