Every child is unique.
As parents and caregivers, we all want to support our children to thrive – to help them overcome challenges, build confidence and unlock their full potential.
But how can we truly understand what’s going on beneath the surface?
Now, for the first time, you can take a closer look at your child’s cognitive function, nutrition and lifestyle – three vital pillars that shape how their brain develops and how they feel, focus, and function each day.

Introducing the Smart Kids & Teens Cognitive Health Programme!

Following the success of the Food for the Brain Cognitive Function Test for adults, and our evidence-based COGNITION programme designed to protect against cognitive decline, we are now launching a groundbreaking version for children and teenagers.

Supporting your child’s brain health shouldn’t be hard or overwhelming. We are here to show you the simple steps you can take to optimise your child’s brain!

What You’ll Gain After the Test:
  • A detailed snapshot of your child’s cognitive, emotional and behavioural wellbeing – done conveniently in your own home.
  • A clear overview of which lifestyle areas may be supporting or hindering their brain development so you know what to focus on and how to help.
  • Personalised, practical steps to optimise their diet and lifestyle through our Smart Kids & Teens interactive programme, so you can take simple target actions to support your child.

You’ll see progress tracked with a colour-coded system (green, amber, red) to make your next steps crystal clear.

How it works

This is designed for ages 4 to 17 and includes three core parts:

1. The Cognitive Function Test

A fun, interactive, digital puzzle challenge that takes around 15 minutes. It assesses memory, attention and reasoning skills. The test must be completed in one sitting to ensure reliable results. We recommend a parent or guardian be nearby to help keep things on track.

2. The Nutrition & Lifestyle Questionnaire

Also taking about 15 minutes, this questionnaire looks at the eight essential lifestyle areas that influence brain development and mental health:

  • Active Body
  • Focused Mind
  • Sleep & Calm
  • Antioxidants
  • Sugar Balance
  • B Vitamins
  • Brain Fats
  • Healthy Gut

It helps you understand your child’s Cognitive Risk Index and where targeted improvements can make the biggest difference.

3. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)

A validated 25-question tool used worldwide to help identify emotional, behavioural and social wellbeing. It can be filled in by you or your child and gives insight into five areas: emotions, behaviour, hyperactivity, social interactions and helpfulness.
