Excerpted from Locally Grown:
In last week?s Strib South: Dakota County hopes to bring kids to table: Kids who eat family meals have fewer risky behaviors.
The more often children eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink, use illegal drugs or have thoughts of suicide, Montagne said. ?The research shows that children who eat five or more meals with their families are less likely to be involved in risky behaviors,? she said.
