| From sodas and energy drinks to iced coffees and teas, caffeine is creeping into kids’ diets more than ever. While adults rely on caffeine for a quick boost, children’s bodies are more sensitive to its effects, which can lead to jitters, sleep disturbances, and even impact focus and growth. The best way to keep energy levels steady? Prioritize hydration, balanced meals, and quality sleep instead of relying on caffeine. It is recommended that kids under 12 years old should not consume caffeine – which can be hidden in drinks, foods, candy, gum, or bars – and children 12 years or older should be limited to 100mg (which is the amount in one cup of coffee). Check out EatingWell’s article on caffeine where pediatricians discuss the risks, potential benefits for certain kids, and FAQ’s on this topic! |

| Whether your child is scoring goals, running laps, or perfecting their cartwheel, the right nutrition keeps them performing their best. Carbohydrates provide the energy their muscles need, while protein helps with muscle repair and recovery. Healthy fats support endurance, and hydration is key to preventing fatigue. A balanced diet with whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and veggies will keep your young athlete fueled for practice and game day. Find general guidelines and ideas for meals/snacks here on Nemours KidsHealth.

| The foods kids eat can play a big role in supporting their immune system, digestion, and even focus. Colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (like nuts and avocado), and omega-3-rich foods (like salmon and flaxseeds) help fight inflammation and keep kids feeling their best. Swapping out highly processed foods and added sugars for nutrient-dense options – even just one snack each week – can make a big difference in their overall health. Because eating well should not take a lot of time or stress, check out this gallery of springtime desserts and treats that use these nutrient-rich foods! |
