The Breakfast Project

Morning Tip of The Week

Walk the talk: if you want your kids to eat a balanced breakfast, make it a priority for you too. Research shows that teens who eat meals regularly with their parents are more likely to drink milk, eat nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables, and are less likely to skip breakfast.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Mothers have a unique opportunity – and a powerful responsibility – to influence the next generation of women. Whether they know it or not, mothers are powerful role models for their daughters’ health and nutrition. Daughters look at their moms’ own food-related attitudes and behaviors to decide what to put on their plates – and in their glasses – at meal time. Studies also show that a mom influences her daughter’s physical activity, dieting behaviors, body image and self-esteem. Like Mother, Like Daughter: A Revealing Look at the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, Food and Health looks at more than 50 published studies exploring the mother-daughter relationship and the power of leading by example.
