Prepare Your Kids Nutritionally to Go Back to School

After a summer of camping, beach vacations and pool parties, it's time to send the kids back to school. Many parents breathe a sigh of relief when the first day of school rolls around and they have a little time to themselves. But the return to school can also wreak havoc on a family's health. Kids share and share alike, not just school lunches, but also colds, flus and other germs. Also, school grades and homework can lead to stress, and parents may struggle to find ways to help their children focus on schoolwork. Rely on Nature's Sunshine supplements to help you prepare for the school year.

Having been an NSP member for the past 10+ years and a mother of 3 boys, I have a lot of experience with these products. My children have been herbal children since they were born. Personally, we stock up on the Herbasaur Chewable Vitamin and mineral, Herbasaur Chewable Antioxidants, Chewable Vitamin C and Zinc lozenges.

My kids each take one of each of these every single morning beginning about 2 weeks before school and all through the school year. We will use the other products on an as need basis. What I have found is that they rarely get sick and when they do it is for one or two days and they are back to normal. When sick they double up on these four products and add in additional herbs as needed. These products keep them healthy all school year.
