Pip’s answer

  1. Breakfast gives your body fuel to start a brand new day!
  2. All night while you sleep, your body uses up energy.
  3. Food in the morning fills you back up, like charging a toy! Beep boop!
  4. Ooh, a good breakfast helps your brain think and your legs play!

For grown-ups

After a night without eating, the body's energy stores are lower. Breakfast provides fuel for the brain and muscles. Research suggests children who eat a healthy breakfast tend to concentrate better and have more energy in the morning.

Ask your child: What's your favorite energy-giving breakfast?
