The body of an eight-year-old child is still quite fragile. At this age, he can withstand heavy loads at school. Therefore, he gets tired quickly.

Food
It is useful for the younger student to eat at a certain time at least 5 times a day. This is breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and a light snack an hour before bedtime.

Free time baby
