A family who eats together, stays together” The world has changed and sitting down to breakfast, lunch or dinner is not such an easy thing to do! Often families rush off to work and school in the mornings, grabbing some fruit or eating porridge on the run.
Eating meals together has the potential to strengthen family bonds as it provides a daily time for the whole family to be together.
For younger children, routine family meals can provide a sense of security and a feeling of belonging in the family. Older children and teenagers, too, prefer eating together as a family.
Studies have proven that there’s a significant link between family dinners and academic performance. Teens who have between five and seven family dinners per week were twice as likely to report receiving mostly A’s and B’s in school, compared to those teens who have fewer than three family dinners per week. In addition, only 9% of teens who ate frequently with their families did poorly in school, according to the report.
