“Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy is a public benefactor.” – Henry Ward Beecher

A study revealed that children who ate at least two meals, five days a week with their families performed better in school and were better adjusted socially.

Mealtime can serve not only as a means of including veggies in the daily intake but as a forum where family can feel free to talk about the day, what lies ahead and possibly even joke a bit.

But more importantly in that short time together, you will be providing a heightened sense of family connectedness and investing in the future well-being of your children. You will be building a rapport of communication that will serve you well during the difficult times that come to every family.

So, make a difference today – eat together!
