If you have a toddler, a few tantrums are guaranteed – including the inevitable supermarket meltdown. The irony is that the food in the aisles of the grocery store she's having that meltdown in – vegetables, red meat, porridge oats – can actually improve your child's behaviour.
“As adults, we know it's important to eat regularly to maintain concentration and mood, but this is just as important for children,” says Amanda Ursell, author of Baby And Toddler Food Bible. If you're clued up on which foods have a positive effect on your child, it will be easier to keep her relaxed and focused. So, as well as ensuring your tot is fed regularly, add these to the menu for a happier little one.
