Breakfast time!!!

I try every morning to give my kids a good healthy breakfast. Especially the days they have school as they may be picky or not eating all their lunch. I feel nice they have a good breakfast they are ok. I also try to get  them up in plenty of time as they can take ages too to eat their breakfast! 

Cereals. 

I don’t buy coco pops or chocolate cereals. I feel they get enough in other ways so I don’t buy them. My usual ones I buy are weetabix, ready break, Rice Krispies or cornflakes. 

Bread or bagels. 

Toast you can never go wrong with! Some mornings  my kids like a ham sandwich for breakfast. I buy whole meal bread. They love bagels too! I love these ones from Brennan’s. They are always sold out in the supermarket so they must be good! 

Beans and eggs. 

These are another handy one. I find the snap pack one handy. You just pop in the microwave for one minute or boiled eggs are so easy to do too. 

Yougurt and fruit. 

Some mornings you’ll find you kids just want a banana or yogurt in the mornings. 

Juices. 

I give mine orange or cranberry juice in the morning. I know some don’t recommend this but one small glass won’t do much harm! Always have a read at the back of juices and look at the ingredients. I love this orange juice from lidl. It’s only ingredient is orange juice! 

Something nice! 

The days we wake up late some Nutella on toast with banana will be eaten fast or with no arguments! Honey or Jam on toast is lovely too. I add honey too to the ready break or weetabix for some sweetness. 

Starting school issues!

Today is into the second week back to school for most children. There is a a lot of mails to the page about different issues that parents are having with their children that started school. A few of these are,  

 

1. Behaviour at home has been really hard. Cheeky and misbehaving. 
2. Not sleeping at night. 
3. Acting like a baby and baby talk. 
4. Not wanting to go to school, even though they skipped in the door for first three weeks. 
5. Very tearful and upset. 

I would speak to the teacher to see if all is ok at school. Explain what’s happening at home. If everything is going well at school, then this is just a phase you have to go through with your child. It’s a big huge change for them going to school. Some children are only 4  or 5 years old.  They are still so young. However keep it positive and give them time to settle. Even though they were happy out the first few weeks, the novelty is wearing off. They realise hang on I’ve to go here everyday, sit down and behave myself!! At home with you they are comfortable to express how they are feeling. So give it time.  Plenty of love and hugs. However you need to be helping the teacher too. When they say teacher tells us to sit, be quiet etc. Explain that what teacher is doing is right and will help the class. Only 14 more years to go!!!!
