Families today are busier than ever. With job demands, soccer practice, homework, birthday parties and all of the other activities competing for our time and attention, it can sometimes seem like we have no time for daily things, like cooking and eating together as a family. This is a pity because often times these everyday things can have a long-term impact on family togetherness.
Research shows that there are many benefits to cooking and eating dinner as a family each week. In addition to being a fun way to start your week and spend quality time together, evidence also links family dinners to healthier life choices.
When children are involved in preparing the food, they are much more likely to eat what they make.
