Eating dinner together does make a difference








Today is Family Day — a time to remind parents that eating dinner together makes a difference. 

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Colombia University in New York launched Family Day in 2001 after its research consistently found that the more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.

The CASA website offers numerous resources for parents as well as engaging activities to draw families together. Parents are encouraged to take the Family Day Pledge to reinforce their commitment to the well being of their families. CJK
