“What’s for dinner mom?”
We’ve all heard that question before!
Even though we may want to prepare a nutritious dinner every night, it’s not always easy. With conflicting schedules, work, sports, and other activities, families are always on the run. But it is important to make time to have family meals together as often as possible.
Why Prepare Dinner for Your Family?
It’s obvious that dinner is important because your family is usually hungry in the evening. It may not always be easy or even possible to prepare a delicious dinner for your family. But when you can, it’s one more way to help kids grow up physically, mentally, and emotionally healthier.
Studies show that families which eat together are happier, more closely connected, and more well-adjusted.
And did you know:
- Among teens who had dinner with their families five or more nights a week, 86% reported they had never tried smoking, compared with 65% of youth who had dinner with their families two or fewer nights a week.
- Similarly, teens who ate dinner with their families five or more nights a week were less likely to have tried alcohol or marijuana.
- Teens who had frequent family dinners were also more likely to get better grades.
- A Harvard Study found that children who had at least five dinners together a week had healthier eating habits.
- Even when not at home, they typically consumed more fruits, vegetables, and juice.

And if those are not enough reasons to schedule dinner together, it’s just plain fun to have a delicious, healthy meal together as a family to talk about the day’s events.
