Family meals today do not have to be too different from what I served as a mother in the 1960's.

Family meals are an important time to share and discuss the day's events.

And at least one family meal a day is helpful.

Family meals reflect involved parents, who want the opportunity both to talk and to listen to what their kids have to say.
