Getting the Most Out of Your Family Meals (Managing Parenthood and Your Career Series)

Studies have tied shared meals to increased resiliency and self-esteem in children, higher academic achievement, a healthier relationship to food, and even reduced risk of substance abuse and eating disorders. Shared mealtime provides connection, enjoyment, and stability especially during the current pandemic.

At this session we discussed how and why to make family dinners:
– Playful
– Easy
– Talkative
– Meaningful
