Children learn best when they receive good health care and nutrition.
This means visiting the doctor regularly, especially during the first few years of life, getting plenty of sleep and eating well in order to maximize their learning potential. Paying close attention to your child's emotional wellbeing is also important.
Children's day-to-day experiences affect the hard wiring of their brain, including affecting development, intelligence and personality.
Sleep also boosts brainpower and fuels a child's growth and development. It helps the mind stay alert, increasing a child's ability to learn, concentrate and adapt to new situations.
A child's health is related to what he or she eats. Choose healthy meals and snacks. Unhealthy foods such as fried foods, chips, candy and soda are full of calories and don't offer the nutrients a child needs for healthy growth.
