Let’s Get Ready to Give Our Kids BrainFuel!
When I find a great site, I love to share!!! This one is near and dear to my heart – BrainFuel4Kids.com!
BrainFuel4Kids.com aims to help take your child’s learning to the next level. Research suggests key changes in diet, exercise, and sleep can enhance cognitive abilities, and BrainFuel thus offers sections like ‘Brain Food,’ ‘Healthy Brain,’ and ‘Brain Games,’ aimed at engaging kids and Moms alike. The site provides us Moms as much benefit as our kids, featuring a forum to give parents a chance to discuss what works and what doesn’t with our kids this school year. Some of my favorite features include:
- Explanations for our kids in answer to their complaints, “Why vitamins?!”: “The brain is the greediest organ in your body – greedier than the spleen or stomach, even greedier than the heart” and other “why!?” questions.
- Challenging games for kids from Lumosity.com, designed to promote quicker thinking, better concentration, and improved memory.
- Recipes that give your kids the right balance of carbs and protein, and help understanding those complicated nutritional labels.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of BrainFuel and received a lunch bag from California Innovations as a thank-you for taking the time to participate.
