18. H Hunger and
Behavior
• When a child misses one meal ex: breakfast their behavior
and academic performance are affected.
• Children who skip breakfast typically do not make up the
deficits at later meals
• They perform poorly in tasks requiring concentration, their
attention spans are shorter, and they even score lower on
intelligence tests than their well-fed peers.
19. • Children who eat nutritious breakfasts improve their school
performance and absent significantly less often.
• Discomfort from hunger may become distracting by late
morning.
• Solution: midmorning snacks to improve classroom
performance all the way to lunchtime
