“Back to school!” These three words make a weary parent cheer. However, as happy as you may be about the end of the holidays, the kids may be a little less excited about the end of fun-filled summer days and of sleeping in. Although it may be hard getting the kids back to school, it doesn’t have to be hard helping them to make the most out of their school years.

Whilst you can guarantee your kids are going to school (in most cases), you can’t always guarantee that when they are at school, they are concentrating and absorbing the information given to them. In some cases, children may have learning difficulties and struggle to concentrate which can, in turn, lead to stress, anxiety and can negatively affect their attitude towards school. Luckily, as their parent, you can help support their ability to learn so they can get the most out of each lesson.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish oils are a great staple for all children no matter what age group. Ethical Nutrients Hi Strength Liquid Fish Oil is a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids in an easy to take liquid with a pleasant fruit punch flavour. Omega-3 essential fatty acids not only support the activity of the central nervous system, but they are also well-known for their ability to stabilise mood and support cognitive function, thereby helping to improve your child’s performance at school.

In cases where you think a little extra mental support is needed, the Ethical Nutrients Memory Booster may be a valuable option. This formula contains the herb Brahmi which has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine to help maintain healthy nervous system function and to assist with anxiety. In addition to these benefits, Brahmi supports cognitive function and concentration. BacoMind® – a patented form of Brahmi found in the Ethical Nutrients Memory Booster – has been shown to improve both memory and learning in clinical trials, making this an essential product for all students.

| Of course there is little point improving memory and concentration if your children are constantly missing school due to illness. The school playground is a breeding ground for germs that increase the likelihood of kids catching an infection that has them off school (and you off work) for an inconvenient amount of time. |

| To help prevent ‘sick days’ it is important to support healthy immune system function in children with a supplement such as Ethical Nutrients Immune Booster for Kids. When taken daily, Ethical Nutrients Immune Booster for Kids may reduce the frequency of upper respiratory tract infections and symptoms of colds and flu such as fever, runny noses and coughs. In fact, this product has been proven to reduce the number of days absent from childcare or school due to cold and flu. |
| |
Of course, one must not forget the importance of nutrients such as Zinc and vitamin C for immune system function. Supplementing these nutrients using a product such as Ethical Nutrients Zinc Fix promotes healthy immune system function and assists with the management of upper respiratory tract infections whilst reducing the frequency and duration of colds in children. In addition to its immune system benefits in cases where a zinc deficiency exists, zinc supplementation may assist in the healthy development of motor and attention skills in children.

Supplements can be a great way to increase both the quantity and quality of time your child spends at school. However it is important that you don’t forget the basics:
- Healthy diet - load your kids up with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole-grains, protein-rich foods and essential fatty acids from fish, nuts and seeds. These foods contain nutrients that support brain health and immune function as well as having numerous other health benefits.
- Exercise – exercise is a simple yet effective way to boost immune function. It also increases oxygen supply to the brain thereby improving mental function.
- Sleep – Quality sleep is essential for healthy immune response. It also allows the body time to repair and regenerate itself both physically and mentally.

By following these simple steps and choosing the right supplements for your child, you can be confident that your child is making the most out of their school years and you can ensure that the transition from the holidays back to school goes as smoothly as possible. So now, all you have to worry about is giving yourself a holiday!
