Whether you're cooking a gourmet meal, ordering food from your favorite take-out place or eating on the go, rest assured that what your kids really want during dinnertime is YOU! Family meals are the perfect time to talk to your kids and to listen to what's on their mind. The more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.
September 26th marks the 10th anniversary of Family Day: A Day to Eat Dinner With Your Family, launched by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. Vice President of Search Institute, Gene Roehlkepartain, says family meals do seem to be a priority for many families. "Parents want to spend more time with their kids. They know it is important and that it matters." Check out the Search Institute, www.search-institute.org, for more information.
