life-bridge child care

  • October 30, 2019

thanks for the tip, marilyn! 

RFRK Healthy Habit Heroes is our peer-to-peer advice column for partners to share their best tips for inspiring kids to love healthy food.

Today, Marilyn, Executive Director at Life-Bridge Child Care, shares her thoughts on commensality – the practice of eating together – and why it’s always a good idea to gather the kids around the lunch table.

“Sitting down to a meal together provides an opportunity to create a ‘family togetherness feeling’. Eating is everyone’s special time, and the time to break bread together opens so many common pathways to bond and to feel connected.”

What do you love best about sharing a meal with others? Let us know by tagging us @realfoodforrealkids on Instagram or Facebook and #RFRKeveryday!
