Tuna or Toast
Breakfast rules for ADHD kids, their friends, their parents, and
their teachers:

1. Never skip breakfast

2. Breakfast must include protein

White-bread toast and jelly for breakfast? Or last night's left-over
casserole for breakfast? Hope you chose last night's tuna and hard-
boiled egg casserole. Hey, some kids like it so much they'll eat it
cold! It's got protein for energy and staying calm.

Too much sugar and not enough protein increases hyperactive behavior! (Yes, white bread has sugar in it.)

Just for kids: Make a list of everything you could eat for breakfast
that has protein in it. Can you think of something really crazy?

Here are a couple things to get you started: How about a peanut
butter and pickle sandwich or the tuna salad Mom forgot to take in her lunch yesterday?
