!DINNER
Dinner time is the perfect time to connect with your
children. You can help feed their mind, body and soul
through the prayers of thanksgiving said before eating a
delicious meal and through personal conversations
shared about the day’s events.
The parental engagement fostered during your frequent
family, dinners can also help keep your kids substance
free. More than a decade of research by CASAColum-
bia (The National Center on Addiction and Substance
Abuse at Columbia University) has consistently found
that the more often kids eat dinner with their families,
the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.
Once again, the Archdiocese of Hartford is participating
in this national campaign. Family Day launched by CA-
SAColumbia in 2001. This program reminds parents
and guardians that what your kids really want at the din-
ner table is YOU!
To learn more about Family Day and to join families
across the country, visit: www.CASAFamilyDay.org or
