Ep.7 Why having dinner with your kids is important
12/21/22 • 24 min
In this episode, I talk about research that examined the importance of having parents eating family dinners with their kids.
I discuss this article:
Is frequency of shared family meals related to the nutritional health of children and adolescents?
Pediatrics. 2011 Jun;127(6):e1565-74. doi: 10.1542/peds.2010-1440. Epub 2011 May 2. PMID: 21536618; PMCID: PMC3387875.
Use this as a starting point to evaluate your family's dinner habits.
Hope it is helpful.
