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

Although conducted on adults, data from a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health, and Aging suggests that eating a handful of walnuts every day may help support memory and concentration. While the same study was not conducted on children, eating walnuts certainly won't hurt anything, assuming your child is developmentally ready to eat this nut.

Try some walnut butter on a piece of fruit for an afternoon snack or, for a decadent treat, dip shelled walnuts in dark chocolate. Tell your kids they are chocolate covered brains for a creative story. (Does anybody else think that shelled walnuts look like mini brains? Only me?)
