Experts suggest sending along a healthy snack that won't spike your child's blood sugar.
Whole grain granola bars should have at least 5 grams of fiber in them and a low sugar content, so check the nutrition label.
A trail mix of dried fruits and nuts is also a good choice.
Cottage cheese or a Greek yogurt will stabilize blood sugars, as well.
You can even send along a half sandwich with peanut butter or turkey and cheese.
The right snack will not only hold children until dinner, but stabilizing their blood sugars should also help their performance.
