It's back to school time and parents are wondering how they can feed their child success? I have got some great tips for you. The first one is mix it up, offer your kids a variety of foods from all the food groups, especially foods and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and don't forget the dairy.

When you don't have time to packet great lunch for your child, choose something like Lunchables. It's got all the foods that kids love to eat like sub-sandwich with 100% turkey breast, low fat cheese, apple sauce, and water.

Speaking of water, hydration is so important for children and most kids don't drink enough. Dehydration can lead to a decrease in both physical and mental performance. So remind them to drink 6-8 glasses a day.

Reading is also important to boost brainpower and increase his confidence and kids to read, perform at a higher academic level. Finally, establish a kitchen connection with your kid. Cooking gives kids basic life skills like math and science and also improves their self-confidence.
