Families - You gotta eat together !!!!

It is sooooooooooo easy to sit your kids in front of the TV and give them TV dinner. Let's go the extra mile and have them switch it off and eat together ! It will be worth it.

Thanks to Keithdj1 for this reminder

Dr. Doherty wrote a book Putting Family First: Successful Strategies for Reclaiming Family Life in A Hurry Up World. Doherty, W.J. (2002)
Doherty stated: “For young children, meal time at home is a stronger predictor of academic achievement and psychological adjustment than time spent in any of the following activities: school, studying, sports, church/religious activities, or art activities. For teens, having regular dinners with parents is a strong predictor of academic success, psychological adjustment, and lower rates of alcohol use, drug use, early sexual behavior, eating disorders, and risk for suicide.”
