Having regular meals with your child is time to reconnect.

Mealtimes are great for talking!  Talking during meals helps your child learn words and language skills.

During meals, your child can see how to share and use good manners.

Children that have regular meals with their family are more engaged in school and have less social problems.

Tips for success meals:

• Turn off the TV

• Limit snacks before meals

• Get your child involved in picking healthy foods and preparing meals.

Meals do not need to take a lot of time - time together is the secret ingredient.
