Focusing on Family Time

Hello everyone.  Here is a great reminder from HSBS for all of us!

Focusing on Family Time

 Use meal time as a time for families to work together to help select and prepare nutritious food, set the table, and clean-up afterwards. While preparing and eating food together, families can discuss their day, what they are eating, and how food will help their bodies grow and stay healthy. Conversations during meal time are a great bonding experience for families. When families eat meals together, children’s academic performance can improve because of increased vocabulary development. Focus on the Three F's: Food, Family, and FUN!
