September 22, Family Day

September 22 is 2008 Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children. Family Day is a national movement to inform parents that the parental engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep America's kids substance free. It's a day to remind parents that frequent family dinners make a difference.

More than a decade of research has consistently found that the more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs. So why not have dinner - it doesn't matter what you eat - with your family on September 22!For more information and tips and recipes for a special dinner, visit the Family Day website.
