Nutrition
Recent research from Harvard indicates that families that eat together
are twice as likely to eat the daily recommended servings of fruits
and vegetables as those who do not.
Research also shows that children tend to be more willing to eat
healthy foods and be active if they see their parents and other
family members doing these things first. Eating meals together gives
parents a chance to help children develop healthy attitudes toward
food. Parents can be a healthy eating role model by eating nutritious
foods, introducing new foods, and establishing a regular meal schedule.
