Snotty Noses Happy Parents Raising Healthy Kids by Dr Orlena Kerek, Paediatrician

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. It gives your children’s bodies lots of energy for a day full of learning and fun. Research shows that if kids eat breakfast, they behave better and learn more. The only problem? We so often resort to cereal out of a box. Here are some great healthy breakfast recipes that don’t come out of a box.

This is part of a series. This week, we’ll look at oats, pancakes and muffins.
