Dads, get your family together for meals

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. One of the unfortunate casualties of our digital culture is the death of the family meal. Dads, you need to take the lead in seeing to it that your family has dinner together as often as possible. It’s good for you, and it’s good for your kids. A study from New Zealand shows that junior high students who enjoyed frequent family meals had higher levels of emotional well-being and lower levels of depression. In Iran, believe it or not, adolescents who have regular family meals were less likely to suffer from anxiety, insomnia, and all types of mental disorders. Family meals are linked to lower levels of suicide and higher levels of self-esteem among adolescents, and among adults who shared family meals when they were adolescents. Hey, if it works in Iran, it’ll work here. Bon Appetit!
