3. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS 

Did you know that more than half of your weight is just water? So in order to be healthy we need at least 7-8 glasses of liquid each day. So encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. In addition to water you can give kids low-fat milk, buttermilk, fresh fruit juices and low calorie beverages.

food

Our body needs around 40 different nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) every day for good health. As there is no single food that contains them all, so it is important to balance our daily intake. The best way to stay healthy and get the right balance is to eat a wide variety of food each day.
A mother now here your responsibility becomes tougher, as you need to get more creative in cooking so that kids eat all varieties of food and have healthy snacks too.

Make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date. It is good that these days even schools are aware and they also ensure child is immunised properly before giving admission.

Sleep is a vital need, as it promotes alertness, memory and performance. Children who get enough sleep are more likely to function better and are less prone to behavioural problems. A good night’s sleep followed by food in the morning helps your child to stay active and concentrate better at school.
