Another Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM is coming up to honor, remember, and celebrate the impact having meals together will have on your children.  Studies show over and over that the simple tradition of eating a meal together reduces the likelihood your child will engage in risky behavior like drug and alcohol abuse.

We are taking the pledge to be a Family Day STAR!  A Family Day star:

:

S- Spends time with my kids by having dinner together
T- Talks to them about their friends, interests and the dangers of drugs and alcohol
A- Answers their questions and listens to what they say
R- Recognizes that I have the power to help keep my kids substance-free!

Sign the pledge here:http://casafamilyday.org/familyday/get-involved/

Behavior benefits aside, eating together is also a great way to teach healthy eating!  Studies have shown, families that eat together generally eat more nutritiously, and children are less likely to be overweight.

So, gather up the kids, sign the STAR pledge, and celebrate with us!
