TV family shows of the 50s, 60s and even the 70s regularly featured scenes around the family dinner table. Remarkably, the entire family was normally present! Try finding that on a family TV show today. OK, maybe the Thanksgiving or Christmas episodes, at best. It's a struggle for families to come together on a regular basis for a shared meal. But it's a struggle that well worth winning.
A study performed by Columbia University revealed that children who eat dinner with their families each night at least 3 times a week are less likely to use drugs, smoke or drink.
What a great prevention measure - dinner with the family!
Monday, September 27th is Family Day - a day to bring your family together for dinner. It's a great day to start a very worthwhile and healthy family tradition.
