Help Your Kid Focus on a Long Day of Schoolwork With These Healthy Foods

Ok, breakfast is not a specific food. But it is the most important meal of the day and needs to be a focus if parents are trying to support their child's ability to focus in school or otherwise.

While I would love to see kids eating a well-balanced breakfast every morning before school, I would rather see them eat something instead of nothing – even if that means grabbing a granola bar on the way out the door. Any breakfast is better than no breakfast when trying to support concentration.
