Family Day

We've posted a few articles or links regarding eating together as a family. Here is one more site that we like to go to every once in a while. 

Family Day is sponsored by CASA, The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. We heard about them a few years ago when their study made national headlines by pointing out that children who eat dinner with their families have a lower risk of drug abuse and get better grades in school. Here is their mission statement:

Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children (TM) is a national movement to inform parents that the parental engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep America's kids substance free. Family Day reminds parents that Dinner Makes A Difference!

Here is the link to their website:  http://casafamilyday.org/familyday/

As always our goal at Piefection is to give you the tools to effectively manage dinner time without sacrificing home made goodness. We hope you enjoy eating together!
