Make a date for Dinner ...

The recipe for keeping your kids away from drugs and alcohol and keeping them emotionally healthy just may be found at your dinner table. The more frequently kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to use drugs, alcohol and tobacco, according to research by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University. Kids who eat dinner with their families also eat more nutritiously, do better in school and have fewer emotional problems.

September 26th is Family Day, A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children, a national effort sponsored by CASA to promote the family dinner.
