Therefore, parents must take it seriously if their children do not eat breakfast, find out the reasons and solve this problem. So, what should you do if your child doesn’t eat breakfast?

1. Some children don't start to feel hungry until several hours after waking up. Allow a child like this to get dressed first, and after a while, he may become interested in eating.

2. Prepare a variety of breakfast drinks. They are very similar to milkshakes, but of course contain more vitamins. Put these drinks in cups, insert straws, and have your child drink them while he or she goes about his or her morning business.

3. Provide more options for breakfast. Some children are not interested in traditional breakfast but are willing to try something new. Leftover chicken, soup, or even pizza, bread, and cake from the day before can be turned into a hearty breakfast.
