"New research reveals that UK kids are skipping breakfast because of boredom caused by the same foods and because parents don't have the time.
The nation is suffering from a serious case of breakfast blues as research from restaurant chains, Brewers Fayre and Table Table, has revealed that more than a third of children in the UK are skipping the most important meal of the day, breakfast." read more . . .
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. Not eating anything before going to school or work makes your brain sluggish. It is true! Some kids are skipping breakfast because of reasons like they got bored of eating the same food every meal and lacking of time. I think this can easily be fixed by the parents. If time is managed perfectly, parents can plan ahead on what to cook for breakfast and buy them a week before. They can also wake their children early enough for them to eat breakfast together.

Parenting Articles - Parental Involvement Is A Key In Reading Improvement
Across England and Wales, 16% of 11-year-olds failed to reach the expected level or better in reading.
Maybe this is due to the rapid growth of technology. Most kids these days just glue their eyes on electronic gadgets and the television. Not only will this lead to being solidarity, it may also affect their reading skills. Parents should supervise and limit the number of hours their kids spend with those. They should encourage theit children to read short stories. It really helps a lot.
As a kid, my parents will read to us stories before bed. Not only did it nourished our imaginations, it made us curious about reading and this resulted in our parents teaching us how to read in an early age. Reading in class is never enough. Occasionally reading at home helps too, it gives children a boost of confidence in their reading skills.
An excerpt from the ChildUp Blog:
"Children going in to school who have been read to as infants; children who share stories with their parents; children who go in to school with a wide vocabulary and an understanding of stories and how stories work and how the world works are at a huge advantage."
Happy Holidays to all!!
