Bringing Back the Family Table

Who doesn’t want their children to do their best in school and behave well? If you are thinking that extra tutoring, sports, and other activities may help your children get there, you may be overlooking a simple solution found right around your kitchen table. A University of Michigan study found that more meal time at home was the single strongest predictor of better achievement scores and fewer behavioral problems. Meal time was more powerful than time spent in school, studying, church, playing sports, or art activities.

At “Bringing Back the Family Table,” Liz Kanche from American HealthCare Group will discuss how to get your family together for this important meal and quick, nutritious recipes that you can serve. This program will be offered at the Peters Township Public Library on Sunday, October 9 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. so not to conflict with the family dinner hour. To register for this program online, visit the library circulation desk, or call 724.941.9430.
