As parents, we want to set our children up for success and offering our children brain nourishing food is one way we can do that. In the short term, food can ward off brain fog and fatigue that leads to hangry children. Likewise, if we can take one thing off the “reasons why my kid is in a bad mood” list, why wouldn't we? And in the long term, our food choices today can positively contribute to our children's future mental wellbeing. Studies show that young children that eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants are less likely to experience mental ill-health in the future.
