The Power of Parenting
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.
Family Day was celebrated nationwide on Monday, September 26 2011, but it doesn’t end here. The beauty of family dinners is they make a difference any day of the year!
