Make mealtimes MATTER

Latter-day fast-paced lifestyles constrain parents from paying sufficient attention to family mealtimes. This needs to change because mealtimes provide an excellent opportunity for parents to teach children good eating habits such as mindful eating, chewing food well, choosing right mix of healthy foods and dining etiquette. Here are some ways parents can make mealtimes matter for children.
