In addition to providing energy, breakfast is also useful for increasing endurance and increasing concentration when receiving lessons at school. Children who have breakfast habits also tend to have a stable weight, so the little one avoids the risk of obesity.

Unfortunately, many children are still difficult when asked to eat breakfast. In fact, if your little one doesn't have breakfast, he will miss the intake of important nutrients in the morning. Of course this will affect his activities that day.

There are many things that make your little one refuse to eat breakfast. There are those who refuse breakfast because they are not hungry, there are also those who say they don't have an appetite.

When you see the portion of the breakfast menu that looks too much, your little one might not be interested right away. For starters, give your little one a menu in small portions. a few slices of fruit, a piece of whole-wheat toast and peanut butter, or a small bowl of cereal is enough to get him started on breakfast.

Choose healthy food as a breakfast menu for your little one. For example, fruit, whole grain breads, fruits such as bananas or apples, and cereal-based foods, as well as cow's milk or almond milk. Avoid fast food or fried foods, because they are high in fat and low in nutrients.

Avoid giving the same breakfast menu every day. Make a varied menu. For example, today Mother serves whole wheat bread with fruit jam, tomorrow serves cereal with additional pieces of fresh fruit. Giving the same menu every day will make your little one bored and eventually refuse breakfast.

Cereal with a bowl of cold milk is likely to get your little one interested in breakfast. With vitamins and minerals that are important for the body, cereals can be a nutritious breakfast menu choice. Several studies have shown that breakfast cereals can help maintain weight and even improve nutritional status. Cereals for children are usually available in a variety of shapes and flavors. Let your little one choose the shape and taste of the cereal he likes. A variety of cereals made from whole wheat can be an option because of its health benefits, such as being rich in fiber and good nutrients to maintain digestive health and endurance, so that children are ready to carry out their activities throughout the day.

Mothers can give a cup of yogurt or can mix it with milk and fruit using a blender to make an interesting smoothie to eat. This menu can also be served to your little one as a practical healthy breakfast menu option.

When your child chooses a certain menu, it means he is interested in that food. Mother can ask the Little One to finish his breakfast, because he chooses the menu himself. When you prepare breakfast, let your little one help. For example, taking the ingredients from the refrigerator. You can also tell a little about these food ingredients. Thus the Little One will be more interested in the menu and start to feel comfortable when getting used to breakfast.

Parents are role models for the Little One. Mom and Dad can set an example to always have breakfast every morning. Let your little one see Mom and Dad eating breakfast. Always taking the time to have breakfast with your little one will make him participate in these activities.

There are many ways to arouse your little one's appetite to be interested in breakfast every morning. Never get tired of encouraging your little one to enjoy breakfast and make it a regular activity, as part of how you teach your child to live a healthy life. All of this is to support the growth and development of children's activities, as well as their achievements.
