Children in the Learn to Train stage of development should be practicing predictable meal times and routines including breakfast as the most important meal of the day. These practices should have been established during the FUNdamentals stage of development but it is never too late to start good habits and these practices can always be introduced, improved upon, or modified as needed.
This process should be led by parents or caregivers with the support of coaches, teachers, and others with an influence on children's behaviour.
It is worth noting that quality nutrition and good meal routines reinforce the circadian rhythm and good sleep routines.
