Going back to school is usually a chance to restart or reset all those good habits that may have been put on the back burner during summer. In addition to getting on a sleep schedule and getting organized with homework, projects and all the other activities our kids do, it’s also important to have a good eating schedule. A good eating schedule should also include some introduction or education on the benefits of healthy eating. Not all kids will choose healthy options if they had to pick for themselves and that is why it’s important as parents to make smart choices for them.
