The kids are back at school, and we all know what a new term means - new germs! Here are some top tips to help your child happy & healthy.
1. Fuel their day
Fruit & veg fun: pack colourful healthy snacks like apple slices, carrot sticks or grapes, to ensure they are getting their 5-a-day. This will help support their immune system.
Wholegrain goodness: include wholegrains in pack lunches to keep them full for longer.
Omega 3 boost: support your child’s brain health with Omega 3-rich foods (e.g. salmon - try our Crispy Salmon Bites Recipe) or an Omega supplement, like Efamol Kids DHA Drops. Omega 3 also plays a role in immunity!
2. Socialise together
Play-dates: help your child build their social skills & confidence by arranging play-dates with friends.
After-school activities: encourage them to take part in after school clubs, or find local clubs they could join.
3. Encourage healthy habits
Prioritise sleep: sufficient rest is essential for their physical and mental well-being. A consistent bedtime routine will help them wind down.
Outdoor fun: encourage exercise and outdoor explorations through clubs or family activities.
By following these tips you can help give your child the best start this school year!
