Why Eat Together? 

Children who eat meals with their families:

• Have improved communication with their parents
• Have fewer behaviour problems
• Have better school performance
• Have greater vocabulary
• Are less like to smoke, use drugs, drink alcohol or have disordered eating
• Develop a sense of belonging, feel more secure and stable

Benefits of family meals to parents are:
