Today, Monday September 25, is Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children and we encourage you to eat together as a family this evening! Family Day began in 2001 as a national effort to promote family dinners as an effective way to reduce youth substance abuse and other risky behaviors. Visit InformedFamilies.org to learn more about the Family Day initiative, sign the family day pledge, and receive tips on how to talk with your children: https://www.informedfamilies.org/campaigns/family-day
Though life can be hectic, spending time together as a family should be a priority. Family meals provide the perfect opportunity to check-in with your kids and share the events of the day. Involve children in preparing the meal or setting the table with you. These are good times to talk to your kids about making healthy choices. Studies show that families who eat dinner together build stronger relationships and foster better communication which helps kids make more informed choices.
Our Red Ribbon title sponsor, Publix Super Markets, kindly shared some healthy and great-tasting recipes created by the Publix Aprons chefs for your family to try:
