Fox 9 Morning had a visit from the old Leave It To Beaver television show. Beaver and Wally were there to promote eating dinner together as a family. We know that kids who eat meals with their families (at least 4 or 5 times a week) do better academically, socially, behaviorally and psychologically. TV Land and Nick @ Nite are partnering with CASA (National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University) on a national initiative. They are looking for 10 million people who will pledge to eat family dinner on September 26th. Make the pledge and learn lots of fun mealtime tips at Family Table: Share More Than Meals.
