 Nutritional information, recipes and activities—
all for kids!		      

Research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found a significant relationship between the frequency of family meals and children’s grades in school. Teens eating with their families more than five times per week were 40% more likely to get A’s compared to teens eating with their families 2 or less times per week. As an added benefit, kids eating with their families at least five times per week were the least likely to take drugs, suffer from depression, or get into trouble.

 



Family meals are also associated with better nutrition, smarter food choices
and a greater sense of family unity.
Try these tips to create quality mealtimes for your family:
üWrite family meals into everyone’s calendar or PDA.
üPlan ahead by shopping on the weekend.
üRotate responsibility for planning menus and suggesting conversation topics among all family  members.
