Effects of Hunger on Children's Education
To be more successful in their future, children must be provided the proper tools and information. But, children around the world aren’t receiving that. Hunger in school aged children is a problem world wide. It doesn’t just affect those children. It also affects the future, since they are the future.
The brain develops rapidly at a young age. That is a problem when children are facing hunger. They aren’t receiving the nutrients they need. Compared to those who aren’t facing hunger, they don’t learn like the others. Kids need food in order to have a successful day of learning.
The body requires fuel to do what is necessary to get through a normal day. Calories in food gives you the energy to do those necessary tasks. When children don’t eat breakfast it greatly affects their ability to do stuff. They don’t have the energy to focus on learning. They therefore are not learning the way they should.
There are programs that try to help kids that are facing hunger. Many schools offer those programs. Communities also offer programs like food pantries. Other programs are the backpack program and free and reduced priced breakfast and lunch. These give kids food that gives them energy to learn each day.
