A Day to Eat Dinner With Your Children

Monday Sept. 22, 2008!

Many Americans are missing something from their daily routines...
Family Dinners

Created by CASA* in 2001, Family Day is a national effort to promote family dinners as an effective way to reduce substance abuse among children and teens. 

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.

Pledge to eat dinner with your children! Make it a part of your daily routine!!!
