Yogurt

If your child is moody and can’t concentrate, regularly eating yogurt might help. According to a just-released Texas Tech University study, probiotics, live bacteria found in certain foods like yogurt, can enhance the production of brain chemicals that alleviate stress and anxiety. That said, all yogurts aren’t created equally. Steer clear of kiddy versions that have been pumped up with sugar and artificial colors and opt for lower sugar adult varieties instead, like the Greek yogurt called for in this easy after-school snack.
